Brentford in advanced talks with Keith Andrews to replace Thomas Frank as new manager
Brentford are in advanced talks with Keith Andrews to replace Thomas Frank as manager. Frank was appointed as Tottenham Hotspur manager, leaving the Bees to search for a new coach and Andrews, who has been working at the club as a set-piece coach since 2024. Andrews is well-regarded at the club and the Independent understands he is now searching for coaches to join his staff in the Premier League next season. Should Andrews be confirmed as the new manager, it would follow a pattern at the club of promoting from within, with Frank succeeding Dean Smith after operating as his assistant. The former Wolves, MK Dons and Blackburn Rovers midfielder thrived as a pundit for Sky Sports on EFL games before opting to work within Frank's structure at Brentford last season. Frank left Brentford after seven years, with Brentford considering a number of options, including Kieran McKenna after Ipswich's relegation from the Premier League. But Brentford believe the 39-year-old has bigger aspirations within the Premier League and have now moved for Andrews as the probable successor to Frank. Francesco Farioli, Kjetil Knutsen and Edin Terzic were also linked with the job, but Andrews appears set for his first managerial role of his career.

Scotland OUT of Darts World Cup as Gary Anderson and Peter Wright WHITEWASHED in shock defeat
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GARY ANDERSON and Peter Wright failed to win a single leg as Scotland suffered a shock opening defeat at the World Cup of Darts. Scotland have won the tournament twice before, with the same pair beating England in 2019, and John Henderson and Wright got the better of Austria in 2021. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Gary Anderson and Peter Wright won the World Cup with Scotland in 2019 4 Anderson stepped aside for 2021, allowing John Henderson the chance, and him and Peter Wright lifted the trophy too 4 Peter Wright looks to the heavens for inspiration as Scotland lost to the Netherlands Credit: Getty 4 Gary Anderson wasn't on his best form Credit: Getty Scotland came into the event seeded alongside England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Their first match was to be no easy task for the former world champions, with Gian Van Veen and Danny Noppert of the Netherlands standing in their way. The Dutch duo got off to a dream start as they broke into a 2-0 lead over the veteran Scots as Van Veen pinned back to back doubles. World number 16 Noppert made it 3-0, but the younger Van Veen took out a 130-finish in the following leg as the Dutch marched into a 4-0 lead. Despite missing three-time World Champion Michael Van Gerwen, the Dutch still look a formidable force. The current World Youth champion Van Veen made it a fantastic five in the race to eight legs in Frankfurt. Danny Noppert got back in the action, as Scotland conceded their sixth leg without reply, and they couldn't stop the rot as Noppert goes back-to-back. Team Netherlands walk off the stage for the break in play 7-0 up on Scotland, as the Dutch demolition duo moved within one leg. Scotland missed darts to prevent the whitewash, and that allowed Noppert to step up and check out 25 to dump Scotland out of the tournament. The Dutchmen averaged 100.2, compared to Scotland's measly 79.37. 'Stupid' - Josh Rock hits out at 'disrespectful' World Cup of Darts rival's on-stage antics Anderson and Wright only managed three darts at double in the entire match. Danny Noppert told Sky Sports after the match: "I didn't expect this before the game" talking about Scotland's form. Star man Van Veen said to Sky: "Even though they didn't play well, It was still Scotland, it was still Peter Wright and Gary Anderson, even though they didn't play phenomenal it was still the two legends of the game." The Netherlands move on to the next round, where they take on Czechia. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
