THOMAS FRANK has agreed a new contract with Brentford.
SunSport understands the deal is set to run until 2025, although the paperwork is yet to be fully signed off.
Frank’s current terms were due to expire at the end of next season.
But the Bees are keen to tie their charismatic boss down for longer after a fine first campaign in the Premier League.
Brentford, who host Wolves on Saturday, currently sit 14th in the table, nine points above the relegation zone.
They kicked off the season with a memorable 2-0 win over Arsenal, while they also beat West Ham and Aston Villa, as well as holding Liverpool to a thrilling 3-3 draw in September.
Brentford were also unlucky to be on the receiving end of a 3-1 defeat to Manchester United Wednesday.
Despite the loss, Frank was 'unbelievably proud' of his team.

Frank told BT Sport: "Unbelievably proud of my team. We are the smallest club in the Premier League, Manchester United the biggest.
"We destroyed them in the first half, they didn't have a sniff, three huge chances and there could only have been one winner of this game.
"They are unbelievably lucky. I know all the stuff about taking chances. They changed the system against little Brentford.
"One of those nights, fair play to David de Gea, if we get those chances again one will go in the back of the net.
"Our intensity killed them, we showed that in the first half, we played the Brentford way."
Danish chief Frank has been in charge since 2018 and finally landed the club promotion from the Championship via the play-offs last year.
