Episode Keith Andrews: Thomas Frank Sacking, Brentford's European Hopes & Igor Thiago's Brazil No. 9 Dreams

0:00 12:39

What does it take to step into Premier League management — and follow in the footsteps of a close friend?

In this episode of the talkSPORT Daily, Natalie Sawyer sits down with Brentford boss Keith Andrews for an honest and engaging conversation about ambition, opportunity and belief.

Andrews reflects on the influence of Thomas Frank - a friend and a key reason behind his move to Brentford - and whether he believes Frank will bounce back. There’s a lighter moment as he admits how much he’s enjoying management, before revealing he first set his sights on the job at just 29, while still playing.

He also discusses the lessons he’s learned, Brentford’s European ambitions, Igor Thiago's dreams of being Brazil's number 9, and how his side could yet have a say in the title race.

Insightful and quietly confident, this is a compelling look at a manager embracing his moment in the Premier League.
