Brentford news: Justin Cochrane to join Thomas Tuchel’s England setup

Brentford’s assistant coach Justin Cochrane is to join Thomas Tuchel’s England senior men’s coaching team and will undertake the role in dual capacity with his responsibilities at the Bees.

The 43-year-old has been working for Brentford since June 2022.

“It’s an honour to be asked to work for the senior men’s national team,” said Cochrane. “This is a really exciting opportunity for me and I’m extremely grateful to Brentford for allowing me to take on this role.”

Cochrane, a young English coach with a well-regarded reputation for individual player development, is the final appointment to Tuchel’s trusted team.

Brentford director of football Phil Giles said: “Justin has been doing a fantastic job for us over the last two-and-a-half years, and so this recognition of his coaching talent is very well merited.

“The exposure to different coaches, players and opponents will no doubt also be positive for Justin’s ongoing development as a coach, as we envisage him being here with us for many more years to come.”
