Thomas Frank is looking forward to continuing Brentford's progress after extending his deal until the summer of 2027. 

Frank, 49, took charge of the Bees in 2018, having previously been assistant coach, and led them to promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs in 2020-21. 

He said: "Being a head coach at a club is like a relationship — there are highs and lows. 

"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 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 said earlier this year that I still feel, deep inside me, there is a lot of unfinished business here at Brentford, even though we've been extremely successful.

"I'm looking forward to hopefully continuing our progress and creating more magic moments together."

Bees director of football Phil Giles added: "I'm sure I speak for everyone at Brentford when I say I am very pleased 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."

Brentford finished 13th in their first Premier League campaign in 2021-22 and headed into this term's mid-season break in 10th.

Having beaten Manchester City 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium in their last game before the World Cup, Frank's men host Tottenham on Monday.
