Duncan Ferguson to start management career in League One after rejecting Real Madrid

Everton legend Duncan Ferguson is set to take his first job in management with League One relegation strugglers Forest Green Rovers.

The 51-year-old has made no secret about his desire to take the next step in his coaching career, having spent a number of years at Goodison Park. Ferguson was handed a number of roles at Everton, eventually becoming assistant manager and on two occasions, caretaker boss.

He impressed in that role in December 2019, when he inspired his side to a victory over Chelsea just two days into the post. He was then kept on by Carlo Ancelotti, where he was promoted from coach to assistant boss.
