Rookie manager Keith Andrews not expecting patience from Brentford hierarchy
The former Republic of Ireland international and assistant manager has been the club's set-piece coach since the start of last season and is understood to have impressed the hierarchy after interviewing for the role after Thomas Frank and his assistant Justin Cochrane departed for Tottenham in what will be his first managerial role.
Frank ended his seven-year stint in west London to take charge of Tottenham following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou.
Despite being dealt a tricky start to the next Premier League season, with Brentford set to play Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United within their first seven games, Andrews stressed that his lack of experience will not guarantee extra patience from the club hierarchy.
Andrews said: "(I've been given) no assurances, I think the reality is that it's a football club that has been built in a certain way and we have ways to do things which aren't the norm.
"The support Thomas had throughout his tenure was impeccable, the relations he built were very connected and aligned and I don't see that being any different."
In addition to potentially losing captain Christian Norgaard to Arsenal, goalkeeper Mark Flekken has signed for Bayer Leverkusen and leading scorer Bryan Mbeumo has been the subject of several bids from Manchester United.
