LIAM DAISH is back in management after being named as Conference side Nuneaton Town’s new boss, replacing Brian Reid.
Daish, a former Republic of Ireland international, has been out of the game since May 2013 when he left Ebbsfleet United following their relegation to the Conference South.
The former Coventry and Birmingham City centre-back was the Fleet’s longest-serving boss having been at the club for eight years and led them to FA Trophy success in 2008 as well as promotion back to Non-League‘s top-flight in 2011.
He also had a stand named after him at Stonebridge Road for his services to the club and takes over a Nuneaton side third from bottom with two wins from their 11 league games.
He replaces Scot Reid who left two weeks ago after just ten competitive games in charge at Liberty Way.
Daish said: “Nuneaton has always been a decent Non-League team with a decent Non-League reputation, and the timing of the job coming in, as well as the location, felt right for me. I have been very impressed by talking to the chairman and the chief executive and it feels like a good, honest club that wants to progress.
“When the job came up I was on a break in Portugal, so I came back, did a bit of homework and was able to watch the match against Forest Green Rovers.
“I have a very good idea of the squad and the players and no doubt I will be very well briefed about all of them. It will not take me too long to get settled in, I’m sure.”
