Andreas Georgson will be joining Brentford FC as Head of Set Pieces and Individual Development. Andreas is currently working at Malmö Fotbollförening in Sweden and will arrive in West London in November when their season ends. The 37-year-old has worked at Malmö for more than a decade and is currently Assistant Coach at the club which sits third in the Swedish top flight.

Andreas is currently working under former Brentford Head Coach Uwe Rösler and is coming to the end of his second season with the Malmö first team. They finished third last year and are currently just three points off the top of the table with eight games remaining. Malmö have also reached the UEFA Europa League group stages, losing to eventual winners Chelsea in the last 32 last season.

Andreas was given a position with the Malmö first team at the end of 2017 after 12 years working in the youth set-up. He was given specific responsibility for bringing young players through to the first team. Andreas is also responsible for the Malmö Under-21 team.

Andreas said: “I have worked at Malmö FF for 14 years and have had several positions at the club: Head of Youth Scouting, Head of Methodology in the academy, Under-17 Head Coach and, for the last two years, Assistant Coach for the first team. I will finish the season with Malmo but then I am really looking forward to joining the team at Brentford in November and fighting for promotion to the Premier League over the coming years.”

Rasmus Ankersen, Brentford FC Co-Director of Football, said: “Andreas is an experienced coach who has helped Malmö to deliver impressive international results over the past few years. I am very pleased that he has accepted to join Brentford in a role that is crucial for our success."
