“The club believes Lee deserves the opportunity to step up and help shape Brentford FC’s future on the pitch.”

Brentford have parted company with head coach Marinus Dijkhuizen and replaced him with Lee Carsley until the end of the season.

Dijkhuizen has taken charge of just nine matches since arriving and leaves the club 19th in the Sky Bet Championship with two wins.
