Claus Nørgaard leaves Brentford | OneFootball

First-team assistant coach Claus Nørgaard has left Brentford.

Formerly with the Danish Football Association, Nørgaard arrived in west London in December 2022. During his time at the club, the Bees achieved two top-half finishes in the Premier League in three seasons.

“I have loved my time at Brentford and leave with fond memories,” said Nørgaard.

“I would like to thank Matthew Benham, Phil Giles, Lee Dykes, Ben Ryan and the players and staff for making this an enjoyable and rewarding chapter.

“There is such a strong culture and that has contributed greatly to a very successful period.

“Brentford will always have a place in my heart. I will look out for their results and wish everybody associated with the club the best of luck for the future.”

Director of football Phil Giles added: “Claus has been with us for the last two and a half years and has played a major role in our success.

“In fact, in the three seasons Claus was a Brentford coach, we finished in the top half of the Premier League twice. That is the legacy he leaves at Brentford.

“Everybody at the club wishes him well in his next role and I’m sure he will be just as successful at whichever club is fortunate enough to employ him.

“He will always receive the warmest of welcomes at Brentford.”
