by Brentford Director of Football Phil Giles hopes that he should have two Keith Andrews Backroom employees this week.
Giles said at the unveiling of Andrews as head coach of Brentford and said that the club had checked the internal and external options for the four vacant roles in the Binroom staff.

After the departure of long-time head coach Thomas Frank after Tottenham, Justin Cochrane, head of performance, Chris Haslam and analyst Joe Newton Brentford left to join the Dane in North London.
The assistant Claus Norgaard also left and had Brentford hired four new appointments to support Andrews while starting his first head coaching role.
“We have a plan. I don’t know if it is a master plan. But it is definitely a plan. We have four roles to fill. I think we’ll go one or two from the start, and then we will bring it up and we will step back and see how it works,” said Giles.
“We consider all options on the table, external, internal, exactly (the same as) when we have carried out the process for Keith and we will make a decision.

“Hopefully we get something, one or two (appointments) this week.”
In his first speech to the media as head coach of Brentford, Andrews spoke with a calm self -confidence and said that he hadn’t expected so quickly that he had been preparing to be a head coach for several years.
“Two or three years ago, I knew that I was ready to be a head coach. If I had foreseen that it is this role at this level? Probably not realistic,” Andrews told the media in the press conference room of the GTech Community Stadium -a room to which he is quickly used to rain or appear, as head coach of bees.
“But the path I hit was very aware of getting into this phase.”
