Thomas Frank is excited about the future after extending Bees deal

Thomas Frank is eager to continue Brentford’s development after having his contract extended through the summer of 2027.

After serving as assistant coach prior to taking over as manager of the Bees in 2018, Frank, 49, guided them to promotion to the Premier League through the Championship play-offs in 2020–21.

He said: “Being a head coach at a club is like a relationship — there are highs and lows. 

“I have been here six years in total, which is a long time in modern football, and I’d like to say thank you to the fans for the support you give us.

“The warmth, support and kindness every time I meet a Bees fan has been amazing and it gives me extra energy to continue the work going forward. 

“We attacked the Premier League in the first season and we’re attacking it in our second season. 

“I’m looking forward to hopefully continuing our progress and creating more magic moments together.”

Bees director of football Phil Giles added: “I’m sure I speak for everyone at Brentford when I say I am very pleased we have agreed this new contract with Thomas. 

“It is well deserved following some excellent results and performances in the last 18 months. 

“Thomas has a detailed knowledge of the game, but just as importantly is able to inspire the players and build strong relationships with our staff. 

“He has proven himself to be a Premier League-level head coach but retains an open-mindedness to keep learning and improving himself.”

Brentford finished 13th in their first Premier League campaign in 2021-22 and sat 10th heading into the mid-season break.

Having beaten Manchester City 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium in their last game before the World Cup, Frank’s men host Tottenham on Monday.
