Thomas Frank extends contract at Brentford

Thomas Frank has signed a new deal that will keep him as Brentford’s head coach through to the summer of 2027.

The 49-year-old took charge of the Bees in 2018, having been assistant coach, and led them to Premier League promotion in the 2020/2021 season.

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 players, the staff, everyone involved with the club.

“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.”
