Gary Bowyer got a text from a familiar number as soon as he got the job at Dundee.
Sky pundit Gary Neville was among the first to congratulate Bowyer just a month after sacking him as Salford City boss. Former Blackpool and Blackburn boss Bowyer, 51, says his new job at Dens Park has helped “re-energise” him after admitting he felt hard done by after losing his job at Salford.
Bowyer’s No1 priority at Dundee is promotion back to the Premiership and his track record and reputation mean that he has already impressed and raised expectations since arriving in Scotland.
