Brentford boss Keith Andrews wants his side to "break the ceiling" after last season's agonisingly close brush with European qualification, which slipped away in the dying seconds of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.
Speaking exclusively to Sky Sports, Andrews reflected on the near-miss and outlined his ambitions for the Bees to push on this term. He believes the club is playing with genuine "verve" and wants to build on the foundations laid last season to finally crack into continental competition.
Andrews' comments come as Brentford look to prove last season's form was no fluke, with the head coach keen to show that the west London club can sustain and even improve upon their previous top-flight showing. While no specific targets or tactical details were revealed, the tone from Andrews suggests confidence that Brentford have the tools to go further this time - with Europe firmly the aim if they can eliminate the fine margins that cost them last term.
