Duncan Ferguson is appointed as Forest Green Rovers' new boss as the Everton legend takes up daunting first permanent managerial job with the club bottom of League One

Duncan Ferguson has been unveiled as the new manager of Forest Green Rovers as he takes up his first permanent job in management.

The 51-year-old former Everton first-team coach met with the club officials after they sacked manager Ian Burchnall following a defeat by Bolton Wanderers, leaving them sitting bottom of the League One table.

Burchnall was only appointed back in May after the departure of Rob Edwards to Watford and Forest Green's promotion to League One.
