SEAN Dyche’s former ally Mark Warburton has been appointed as the new manager of League One Brentford.

Warburton worked closely with Dyche in the Academy at Watford, and the current Burnley boss rose to become assistant manager and then manager with the Hornets.

Warburton later moved to Brentford to become sporting director but has now been appointed as manager following Uwe Rosler’s exit to Wigan Athletic.
