Duncan Ferguson has been confirmed as the head coach of Forest Green Rovers, League One’s bottom club. The former Everton striker and assistant manager was approached on Wednesday, after the dismissal of Ian Burchnall, to take his first full-time managerial role.
“I’m really delighted to join FGR for the next step of my career and I plan to be here for a while,” Ferguson said. “We have a bit of a fight on our hands to stay up in League One and I am ready for the challenge. I am grateful for the opportunity to come and lead such a progressive and forward-thinking club too. Their world-leading green creds are seriously impressive.”
