Plymouth Argyle appoint Tom Cleverly as new manager
He's been brought in on a three year contract.
Plymouth Argyle have appointed Tom Cleverley as their new Head Coach on a three-year contract.
He's most recently been in charge at Watford, where he led them to a 14th-place finish in his first full season in charge, before leaving the club in May.
Chairman Simon Hallett is delighted to secure our number one target and commented: “Ever since Miron’s departure, and knowing Tom was available, we identified him straight away as the perfect person to be our next Head Coach and targeted him immediately.
“When we spoke to him he was completely aligned with the vision and ambitions of the club and it was clear throughout that Tom was the right fit for us.
“He is fully invested in our long-term plans and will play a key role in helping us achieve them.
“He is young, passionate and did a great job at Watford. We are thrilled to bring him to Argyle and look forward to seeing the impact he has on the talented squad at his disposal.”
Argyle Chief Executive Andrew Parkinson added: “We were inundated with interest from prospective candidates, which shows how exciting this project is. But, throughout the process, it was clear that Tom was the perfect person to take the club forward.
“He’s been highly sought after, so we are really pleased we have been able to bring him to Argyle and look forward to seeing him build a squad and style of play that will see us challenging at the top end of League One this season."
We're told discussions regarding backroom staff are ongoing, and will be announced in due course.
