 Forest Green Rovers have announced the appointment of Duncan Ferguson as their new head coach. Ferguson takes on his first full-time manager post having worked under seven managers at the Toffees with two caretaker manager stints. He left his role in the coaching set up in the summer of 2022 with an ambition to get involved in management. Having had positive discussions yesterday after being spotted in the Stroud area, Ferguson takes on the role with Rovers rock-bottom of League One. Following a busy January of incomings under performance and recruitment boss Stevie Grieve, Ferguson inherits a squad requiring a significant amount of gelling if the club are to survive this season. New Forest Green boss Ferguson said: “I’m really delighted to join FGR for the next step of my career, and I plan to be here for a while. We have a bit of a fight on our hands to stay up in League One and I am ready for the challenge. “I am grateful for the opportunity to come and lead such a progressive and forward-thinking club too. Their world-leading green creds are seriously impressive. I want to thank Dale (Vince) for bringing me in - I’m looking forward to getting started!” Chairman Vince also commented: “We’re all excited to welcome Duncan, he is someone I have admired from afar for a while. It’s just fantastic to have the opportunity to work with him in this next phase of our journey toward the Championship.” |

They're bottom of League One, so a good opportunity for him to prove himself.

Can only hope it works out for him and he gets them out of the relegation zone and proves how good a manager he can be.

Duncan Ferguson leaves Forest Green Rovers after less than a year in charge
After just over six months in charge, Ferguson has left the club following a change in sporting structure. The ECHO understands that chief scout Terry McPhillips has also left the club, despite only joining in April.
"It’d been a privilege to work with Dunc these last few months and this was a very difficult decision to make," Rovers chairman Dale Vince said in a club statement.
