Mark Warburton speaks to Bees Player after taking up the role as new Brentford Football Club Manager

Mark Warburton was named this morning as the new Manager of Brentford Football Club.

Mark first arrived at Griffin Park in February 2011 as Interim First Team Coach, working alongside Nicky Forster following the departure of Andy Scott.

He was appointed as Sporting Director in the summer of 2011 and took overall responsibility for the football side of the Club.

Working alongside Uwe Rösler, Mark helped build a First Team squad that finished third in League One last season and then lost the League One Play-Off Final.

He has also overseen the opening of a new Category Two Football Academy and built a support team of medical, analysis, conditioning and kit management staff among the best in the country.

After taking on the role of manager, and taking his first training session, Mark spoke to Bees Player.
