Honors and legacy

Brentford have no major trophies, but their story is their biggest achievement. They've become the Premier League's most admired data-driven club, punching far above their weight with analytics-based recruitment.

Recent history

Since promotion in 2021, Brentford have stabilized in the Premier League, built a reputation for upsetting the big teams, and sold players for massive profits (Toney, Mbeumo, Watkins). Thomas Frank left for Tottenham in 2025 after seven years, and Keith Andrews took over: leading the club to a top-half finish and a genuine push for European football in his very first season in charge.
