Thomas Frank
Brentford boss Thomas Frank has committed his future to the club by signing a new contract. The 48-year-old Dane took charge of the Bees in October 2018 and oversaw promotion last season via the Championship play-offs. His side have impressed in the Premier League this season, beating the likes of Arsenal, West Ham and Aston Villa.
Thomas Frank said: “I feel privileged that I have the chance and opportunity to continue this fantastic journey. I’ve been here for five years and it has been a privilege and enjoyment every single day to work with this group of players and a fantastic staff, and also with the fantastic fans. We created a lot of Brentford history. I’m looking forward to doing my very best every single day to try to create some new history with all the fantastic people at the club.”
Frank’s assistant Brian Riemer has also put pen to paper on a new deal, and Brentford director of football Phil Giles said in a statement on the club’s official website: “On behalf of everyone at Brentford, I’d like to congratulate Thomas and Brian on their new contracts.
Thomas Frank said: “First and foremost, they are fantastic people to work with and I’m sure everyone at the club will be pleased that they have committed to stay with us until 2025. They have been integral to the success that we’ve shared over recent seasons, culminating in achieving our shared target of playing in the Premier League. We want to continue to take Brentford forward, to compete with clubs far bigger than us, and to see how far we can progress. I am sure that we can build on the success that Thomas and Brian have helped deliver along with all of the other staff and players and look forward to what I hope will be a successful conclusion to the season and beyond.”
After spells coaching Denmark at various youth levels and then Brondby, Frank was brought in at Brentford as Dean Smith’s assistant in December 2018.
