BRENTFORD HAVE ANNOUNCED the departure of head coach Marinus Dijkhuizen and his assistant Roy Hendriksen.
The Dutchman only took over from Mark Warburton at the Championship club back in June, but first eight league matches in charge have produced two wins, two draws and four defeats to leave The Bees sitting in 19th position.
Ex-Ireland international Lee Carsley, who had been managing the club’s development squad, has been handed the reins until the end of the season.
Carlsey, capped 40 times for the Boys in Green, has coaching experience at Sheffield United and Coventry City, where he acted as caretaker manager on two occasions.
