Landmark move as League Two club Forest Green Rovers appoint Hannah Dingley as caretaker manager

Making her the FIRST woman to lead a men's pro football team in England.

Forest Green Rovers have placed head of academy Hannah Dingley in caretaker charge of the men's senior team following the departure of Duncan Ferguson.

In a landmark move for English football exclusively revealed by Mail Sport, Dingley has been handed the reins of the League Two club after Ferguson's sudden exit.

Dingley - who has a UEFA Pro Licence - becomes the first woman, albeit temporarily for now, to lead a men's senior side in one of England's top-four divisions.


Great news.

Don't read anything in the comments section though, the Daily Mail can be a cesspool.
