Lincoln City have appointed former Premier League winger Mark Kennedy as their new manager after reportedly overlooking Michael Carrick for the role.
The League One outfit were on the hunt for their next boss after Michael Appleton stepped down from his position earlier this month. Lincoln - who lost last season's League One play-off final 2-1 to Blackpool at Wembley - finished 17th in the table this term.
Carrick was part of Jose Mourinho's and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's coaching staff at Manchester United before quitting the club when Ralf Rangnick became interim boss in December. The 40-year-old was the Red Devils' caretaker manager for three games before the German's arrival, winning two and drawing one.
