Forest Green Rovers have taken an unprecedented step in English football after appointing Hannah Dingley as their caretaker manager following the departure of Duncan Ferguson.
The Scot leaving could not be considered a surprise. Having taken over in January and charged with guiding the side away from relegation danger, his new team could only muster a solitary league win before the end of the season and their fate was sealed with still four games to play.
But the appointment of his replacement, albeit temporary, could prove a landmark moment. Dingley, who has a UEFA Pro Licence, has been working as the head of academy at the Gloucestershire-based club.
