Forest Green Rovers have appointed former Everton assistant manager Duncan Ferguson as their new head coach. The 51-year-old is taking on his first full-time managerial role and replaces Ian Burchnall who left on Wednesday with the club bottom of League One. Former striker Ferguson made 273 appearances for the Toffees and also had two spells as their caretaker manager in 2019 and 2022. He has signed a five-year contract with the Gloucestershire side.
"I plan to be here for a while," Ferguson told the club website. "We have a bit of a fight on our hands to stay up in League One and I am ready for the challenge."
Former Everton team-mate Tony Grant will work alongside Ferguson as assistant head coach.

Don`t know why, just find this an amusing appointment. Forest Green being a vegan, eco-friendly, happy clappy, tree huggy club. Not the things I would immediately associate with Duncan. Hope he does well though.

He has a huge job ahead of him .. wish him all the best
Forest Green are four points from safety and have won just five of their 28 matches this season, having played more games than their relegation rivals.
They are without a victory in their past eight matches with their last win coming on 10 December.
