Forest Green Rovers have named Southampton’s B team boss David Horseman as their new head coach.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

He takes over from Hannah Dingley, the first woman to manage a professional men’s team in England, who <\/span>has been in interim charge<\/span><\/a> since 5 July.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Last season, Horseman was also Saints first-team coach under Ruben Selles.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m grateful to Hannah for holding the fort for the club while we went through the complete recruitment process,” said owner\/chairman Dale Vince.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Although she did not get the top job this time, it’s undoubtedly been a valuable experience and a big step on her career path.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Dingley, who has a Uefa Pro Licence and initiated the club’s girls academy which launched in 2021, took charge of the club’s first pre-season fixture against non-league Melksham Town and a trip to Ireland.<\/span><\/p>\n

She will also oversee this week’s friendlies against Coventry City and Everton Under-21s, with Horseman and assistant Louis Carey taking up their roles on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hannah Dingley has been Forest Green Rovers’ academy manager for almost four years since taking over when the club joined the EFL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Previous Rovers boss Duncan Ferguson <\/span>left the club<\/span><\/a> the day before Dingley was appointed as caretaker, following the team’s relegation to League Two.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vince said Horseman had stood out from over 100 applicants to succeed Ferguson.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’re delighted to have David join as our head coach, he brings a wealth of experience and a modern approach to the game which matches our own,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Horseman enjoyed success last season as Southampton won the Premier League 2 Division Two title, beating Leeds United Under-21s to top spot on goal difference. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Louis and I have been lucky to be involved for a long time in professional football and study from some elite coaches which we will bring some ideas with us,” he said. <\/span><\/p>\n

“The supporters can look forward to seeing a team with energy and aggression and one that they can be proud of.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Contract details for Horseman and Carey – who is Bristol City’s record appearances maker – have not been disclosed by the club.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
