Former Bristol Rovers boss Graham Coughlan has been appointed at League Two Newport County for his first management role since leaving Mansfield Town at the start of the 2020/21 season.
Coughlan was named as James Rowberry’s successor on Thursday lunchtime with the Exiles struggling towards the bottom of League Two. The former Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth Argyle centre-back has signed a contract at Rodney Parade until 2025.
The 47-year-old was in charge of Rovers for 12 months, first as caretaker and then Darrell Clarke’s permanent replacement from December 2018 through to the end of 2019.
