NEW Brentford boss Keith Andrews has been around the block and is ready to build a new era at Brentford.

Andrews has been bumped up from Bees set-piece expert to replace the club’s long-serving head coach Thomas Frank, who departed for Tottenham after seven years in charge.

It marks Andrews’ first appointment as a senior team boss but he insists it is a task he is ready for, having long prepared for management in his roles as a player, pundit and coach.

The 44-year-old was a regular on Sky Sports’ EFL coverage and says it was all part of his ambition to one day lead a team.
