Former Bristol City midfielder Wade Elliott is set to be announced as the new head coach of Cheltenham Town next week in what will be the 43-year-old’s first managerial role.
Gloucestershire Live report that Elliott will be named as Michael Duff’s successor at Whaddon Road, having been brought to the club as his former Burnley teammate’s No2 last year.
Elliott made 61 appearances for City from 2013-15, in what was the last club of a distinguished playing career, and was a major catalyst behind the Robins revival under Steve Cotterill as they earned promotion and won the EFL Trophy at Wembley in the 2014/15 season. His leadership and influence in the dressing room helped foster the unique team spirit that bound that squad together.
