EXETER have announced Gary Caldwell as their new manager.
The former Celtic and Scotland defender, 40, joins the club on a long-term contract after most recently being assistant manager at Hibernian.
Prior to his appointment at Hibs, Caldwell has managed Partick Thistle, Chesterfield and Wigan, who he led to a successful promotion to the Championship.
In a joint statement, Nick Hawker, chair of Exeter City Supporters’ Trust, and Julian Tagg, club president, told of their delight at the appointment.
They said: “As a supporter-owned club, Exeter City is unique and it was vitally important that we chose the right person to continue our journey.
"The club is in a strong position, having been promoted to League One and made a great start to the campaign, which sees us in eighth position in the table. Gary brings a great deal of experience to our club and we’re excited and optimistic for the future.
“We would also like to put on record our thanks to interim manager Kevin Nicholson and Jon Hill for stepping in to manage the team over the last couple of weeks.”
