At 44 years old, Andrews has no previous experience as a manager, which makes his appointment a significant risk for the team. However, under his guidance, the team's set-piece defense last season was impressive, conceding only three top-flight goals from set-pieces, which is fewer than any other club.
Andrews will become the ninth Irish manager working in the English football league and will take charge of the team for their first game against Nottingham Forest in August. Fans will be cautiously optimistic about the appointment, and Andrews will likely face questions about the pressure of the role and how he will manage his first management job in the English first division.
Thomas Frank's departure to Tottenham was a significant loss for the team, and with the impending transfer of Bryan Mbeumo, the team will need to make major changes to the squad before the start of the new campaign. However, appointing Andrews is a positive step for the club, despite the uncertainty surrounding the team's future.
As the new manager, Andrews will face significant challenges, but he has the opportunity to prove himself and lead the team to success. The club will be watching his progress closely, and fans will be eager to see how he will handle the pressure of the role.
