Stephen Clemence has been named as the new Gillingham manager, or head coach, by the Guardian. It's his first job in management.
Assuming the report is correct he is expected to be in charge for the FA Cup tie at Hereford on Saturday.
'Clemence, son of the late England goalkeeper Ray, was part of his former Birmingham manager Steve Bruce’s coaching staff at various clubs, including Newcastle, Aston Villa and Hull.
The
45-year-old will be assisted by the former Sunderland coach Robbie
Stockdale, who spent the 2021-22 season in charge of Rochdale before
taking backroom roles at Hull and MK Dons.'
Update 1pm: Gillingham have confirmed that Clemence is their new high coach.
He will take training tomorrow and be in charge at Hereford on Saturday.
