Thomas Frank Signs New Deal at Brentford<\/h2>\n

Brentford confirmed via their website<\/a> head coach Thomas Frank had signed a new deal with the Bees. Frank has been in charge since October 2018 replacing Dean Smith who left for Aston Villa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Frank has guided Brentford to third in the Championship table just six points off the automatic promotion places.<\/p>\n

Frank\u2019s new deal runs until the summer of 2023.<\/p>\n

What Was Said<\/h2>\n

After Brentford confirmed the news, Head Coach Thomas Frank said: \u201cI am very pleased that the Club offered me a new contract and I was delighted to sign it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI love coming to work every single day and love working with the players and the staff here. It is also brilliant to work with Phil, Rasmus and [Brentford FC Owner] Matthew Benham, we all know that this Club is special.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a unique togetherness at Brentford and a unique focus on wanting to get better every day. We have a clear plan; a clear strategy and good people and we are going in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in a really good place and not just because of our current form on the pitch and our position in the league but because of how we are run on and off the pitch. Everybody can see the players are getting better every day and we are going into a new stadium, which is a massive boost.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a great relationship with Phil, Rasmus and Matthew. There is a clear vision and a clear strategy. We are on the same wavelength and have an understanding about the way we want to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe push each other but in the right way and I think there is a really good chance that we will achieve success together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brentford Heading in the Right Direction<\/h2>\n

Its been a wonderful season for Brentford. The Bees are very much in the promotion race and arguably playing the best football in the Championship.<\/p>\n

Frank has unlocked the potential in that Brentford side. Ollie Watkins<\/a> is having his best scoring season, Said Benrahma<\/a> is full of confidence. While summer signings David Raya<\/a>, Pontus Jansson<\/a>, Ethan Pinnock<\/a> and Bryan Mbeumo<\/a> have slotted into the Brentford system perfectly.<\/p>\n

The Bees are heading in the right direction with the ambition to bring Premier League football to their brand-new stadium in August 2020.<\/p>\n

Thomas Frank deserves plenty of praise with Brentford brilliant going forward but also very difficult to break down. A fully deserved new deal for the Head Coach as Brentford battle for promotion.<\/p>\n
