NUNEATON TOWN have appointed former Ayr United boss Brian Reid as their new manager on a one-year deal.
Reid, 43, led Ayr to two promotions in three seasons as well as a Scottish Cup quarter final and has most recently served as manager of the Philippines U-23 side.
The former Rangers, Blackpool and Burnley player joins Boro on a full-time deal and will relocate to the Nuneaton area.
He is scheduled to meet the players for the first time tonight at training before taking charge of his first game at Liberty Way against Barnet on Saturday.
Reid replaces former boss Kevin Wilkin who left to take the reins at Wrexham last month. Boro player Mark Noon had been in charge in a caretaker capacity.
Boro CEO Ian Neale said: “Brian was by far the stand out candidate and is a very impressive person. He will be looking to develop a side that plays attractive and winning football.
“His background at Ayr United in particular made him the ideal man for this post, as he was a full-time manager in charge of a part-time team in a full-time league. He is also comfortable with being hands-on regarding the commercial side of things, which is an extra asset he brings to the job.”
