Saturday's briefing: Brentford name new boss and England Under-21s aim for glory
Keith Andrews was appointed Brentford boss and Ruud van Nistelrooy was shown the door at Leicester. Chelsea prepared to meet Benfica in the Club World Cup round of 16 as England Under-21s focused on becoming European champions again. Andrews is the Bees' knees Our New Head Coach 🐝 — Brentford FC (@BrentfordFC) June 27, 2025 Brentford have appointed Keith Andrews as their new head coach. The Bees have been without a boss since Thomas Frank took up the vacancy at Tottenham left by Ange Postecoglou. Andrews, the former Wolves and Republic of Ireland midfielder, has been working as the Bees' set-piece coach. The 44-year-old has now now been promoted to the top coaching job, saying he felt 'humbled' and 'honoured' to have been appointed. Andrews said: 'I'm very appreciative of the owner (Matthew Benham), the board and the staff that have supported this decision. It's an opportunity I feel I'm very capable of doing and ready to do.' Young Lions' glory bid England are close to European Under-21 Championship glory again with a final date against Germany on Saturday. Lee Carsley's Young Lions' victory beat the Netherlands this week to put them within one match of retaining their crown in Slovakia. Harvey Elliott was the star of the show against the Dutch, and the Liverpool attacking midfielder is sure to be a key threat again. Senior England boss Thomas Tuchel is set to make the journey to Bratislava and cast his gaze over players keen to impress him ahead of next summer's World Cup. 'If he does come it will be extra motivation for the lads to win,' skipper James McAtee said. 'More reason to impress the manager.' Another Chelsea chance for Delap? Summer signing Liam Delap hopes to shine for Chelsea once more in their Club World Cup tie against Benfica. The competition has reached the knockout stage and Blues boss Enzo Maresca has promised further rotation because of the American heat. But Senegal striker Nicolas Jackson remains suspended after being handed a two-match ban for his straight red card against Flamengo. That could mean another start for Delap, who has impressed in the tournament so far and scored his first Chelsea goal against Esperance Tunis. Ruud ending as Foxes sack boss Leicester City Football Club and Ruud van Nistelrooy have mutually agreed that Ruud's contract with the Club as First Team Manager will terminate with immediate effect. — Leicester City (@LCFC) June 27, 2025 Ruud van Nistelrooy has left Leicester following the club's relegation from the Premier League. Van Nistelrooy was appointed at the King Power Stadium in November, but was unable to steer the club away from danger. Leicester's return to the Sky Bet Championship was sealed with five games of the season to play, and Van Nistelrooy's departure had been expected. The former Manchester United and Netherlands forward called for talks with the Foxes hierarchy as soon as relegation was confirmed, but was left hanging for several weeks. The delay since the end of the season is understood to have hinged around the start of a new accounting period, which begins on Monday. What's on today? All set for tomorrow night's #U21EURO Final 👊⏳ — England (@England) June 27, 2025 England Under-21s go in search of a second successive continental crown when they play Germany in the European Championship final. The Young Lions won the competition two years ago for the first time since 1984 and have eliminated Spain and Netherlands in the knockout stages. The round of 16 at the Club World Cup gets underway with Chelsea playing Benfica in Charlotte, and Palmeiras and Botafogo meeting in an all-Brazil battle in Philadelphia.
