Isnt that his second new deal in the last year? - Swear he got one after he was rumoured to be leaving mid-season to the Championship or Barnsley

Basically helping them get a bit more compensation if he goes while getting a pay rise 

Same as Jones to Cardiff.

Wonder where he'll rock up

Notts County have appointed former Burton Albion boss Martin Paterson as their new head coach.

Brentford set to appoint Keith Andrews with Damien Duff as his assistant. 

Hope it works for them, they deserve the success after many years of progression and being very well run.

Yes, you hope it works out well for them.  A brave choice giving someone his first managerial job in the PL.

Always good to see young British and Irish coaches being given a chance too.

You would like to think they would be more suited than bringing in from abroad as they know the game over here.

Good luck with that.
I reckon he'll be sacked by xmas with Brentford fighting relegation.

I agree. Could be the slippery slope. Like when Curbs left and we went with Dowie....then in house with Les Reed.

Hope it works out for Brentford. Always thought Andrews was a solid player at his level. Duff was class of course and sounds like he’s done well in Ireland.

I’ve read from some Irish journos that the Duff part is unlikely as he doesn’t want to be a no 2

Bold move if he turns down a  Premier League club and stays at Shelbourne.

I am sure I read that Duff had already left Shelbourne by mutual consent

Oh so maybe he's coming to the Championship ? He ain't getting a Prem club as no 1

Are there any championship clubs currently without managers?

Middlesbrough Football Club are delighted to announce the appointment of Rob Edwards as our new head coach. A Premier League promotion winner, he joins the club on a three-year contract and is joined in the dugout by Adi Viveash and Harry Watling. https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/2025/june/24/rob-edwards-appointed-head-coach/

QPR Manager has left by Mutual Consent... Only surprise is that it’s taken this long to be confirmed.

He was placed on gardening leave previously. Really strange situation in the modern game.

I believe it was because he was talking to West Brom without permission of QPR, obviously they ended up appointing Ryan Mason
