Arabic version: كيث أندروز يتحدث عن رحلته مع برينتفورد في «بي بي سي فوتبول ديلي»

According to BBC News, Brentford head coach Keith Andrews is the guest on this week’s edition of The Football Interview, part of Radio 5 Live’s Football Daily. In the 14-minute programme, published on 5 September 2026, presenter Kelly Somers speaks with Andrews about his path from youth football to management and his hopes for Brentford.

Andrews discusses leaving Ireland for England at the age of 15 to join Wolves’ academy. The programme notes that Robbie Keane was involved in that move to Wolves, a subject listed at the four-minute mark. Earlier in the interview, Andrews considers whether he might have pursued Gaelic football or become a chef had he not made it in football.

The conversation also covers Andrews’ character and his description of football as being like “snakes and ladders”. Those subjects appear in the programme’s timecodes at 1 minute 29 seconds and 6 minutes 40 seconds respectively. The episode frames his early experiences in the game alongside the alternatives he could have taken before establishing a football career.

In its later sections, The Football Interview turns to Andrews’ move into coaching and management, including the managers he has learned from. He also discusses getting the Brentford job and the people he has leaned on for help. The final part of the episode focuses on what could be next for Brentford and how far Andrews believes the club can go.
