New Brentford boss Keith Andrews addresses the media for the first time along with the club's sporting director Phil Giles. They also discuss Christian Norgaard's impending move to Arsenal. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro. 00:16 - Ready to be a head coach?: I knew about two/three years ago that I was lady to be a head coach. In this role at this level?
