Steve Cotterill has been appointed as League Two strugglers Forest Green’s new manager.
He succeeds Troy Deeney, who was sacked last week after just six games in charge.
The former Cheltenham Town manager takes over with the club bottom of the table and without a win in their last 12 league games.
His last role was at Shrewsbury Town between 2020 and 2023, achieving an impressive 12th-placed finish in League One last season, the club’s second-highest finish in 34 years
Club Chairman, Dale Vince, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Steve to FGR. His record speaks for itself with over 25 years of experience in all leagues of the EFL, spanning nearly 900 games.
“Steve knows what it takes at this level and shares our determination to avoid relegation this season, then build our way back up to League One and looking upward again. I’m sure our fans will welcome this appointment and Steve to our club.”
