Brentford manager Thomas Frank has signed a new contract to extend his stay until 2027.
A number of Premier League sides were following Frank as he approached the last two years of his previous contract but 90min revealed in October that Brentford had no concerns about losing the Dane.
Now, Brentford have confirmed that Frank has inked a two-year extension to remain at the club until 2027.
“Being a head coach at a club is like a relationship; there are highs and lows," Frank said. "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.”

Director of football Phil Giles added: “I’m sure I speak for everyone at Brentford when I say that I am very pleased that 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.
“The recent addition of Claus Norgaard as an assistant first team coach, along with the opening of the Robert Rowan Performance Centre, gives Thomas, me and all the players and staff new energy to keep working hard and seeing how far we can take the club.”
