Tranmere Rovers have appointed Ian Dawes as the new manager of the club after being an integral member of the coaching staff for a number of years.
Dawes has been appointed as interim manager on three separate occasions and now the 39-year-old has been given the job on a permanent basis.
Rovers considered a number of candidates, but said Dawes' knowledge of the playing squad and staff as well as his coaching abilities were the deciding factors. Andy Parkinson will continue his role as first team coach.
