York City appoint Gateshead boss Steve Watson as manager

Steve Watson has resigned as manager of Gateshead to become York City‘s new boss.
The Minstermen are currently 16th in National League North while Watson had guided the Heed into play-off contention in Non-League‘s top flight.
Watson was appointed Gateshead manager in October 2017 in what was his first senior management role.
The club was taken over in the summer and Watson had to completely rebuild his squad on limited resources, but they currently sit one point off the play-offs.
He will be joined at York by his assistant Micky Cummins.
