It's been a tricky couple of months for Brentford with a poor run of form but Thomas Frank's side may have turned the corner with recent wins over Wolves and Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
Despite a drop in results, Bees manager Frank always retained the backing from supporters and he has been a constant at the club since being appointed in October 2018. Only Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp have been at top-flight clubs longer with just five bosses in all of English football's top four divisions holding their posts longer than Frank.
LondonWorld looks back at the Brentford manager's first-ever team, which took on Bristol City in a 1-0 Championship defeat at Griffin Park on October 20, 2018 - and this is what they're up to now.
