Last updated 7th Dec 2023
Cambridge United have appointed Nail Harris as their new head coach.
The 46-year-old has signed an 18-month contract.
His first game in charge will be the league match against Charlton Athletic on Saturday.
He takes over from Mark Bonner, who was sacked last month after almost four years in charge.
Harris has played at Cambridge City before captaining Millwall, where he became one of their all-time leading goal-scorers in 138 goals in 431 appearances.
"I want us to be a Cambridge United side that people fear playing against"
“I am super excited and really pleased to be here, “Harris said.
“It’s a brilliant project in motion here and I just want to come and add some value to that.
“I have seen the team evolve over the past four or five years and have always followed the results from my connections with the Club from my younger days.
"I have always had an affinity with Cambridge but the players here have some brilliant attributes that suit the way I want to play.
“I want us to be a Cambridge United side that people fear playing against. I want to win games of football and address recent results as quickly as I can.
"It’s certainly not revolution, it’s about evolution and supporting the players that are already and trying to get a little more out of them.”
