News about Tony Grant

Following Duncan Ferguson's departure, Forest Green Rovers have put Hannah Dingley in caretaker charge of the men's senior team. Dingley has been given the reins of the League Two club after Ferguson's unexpected departure in a landmark move for English football exclusively revealed by Mail Sport. Dingley, who holds a UEFA Pro Licence, is the first woman to lead a male's senior side in one of England's top-four divisions, although temporarily for now. Forest Greens were playing Melksham Town in their first pre-season game on Wednesday night. Dingley will be in charge. 'Hannah was the right choice for us as the first team interim coach,' said the club's president Dale Vince.

After losing to Bolton Wanderers, the 51-year-old former Everton first-team coach spoke with club executives after they fired him. Burchnall was only appointed back in May after Rob Edwards' departure from Watford and Forest Green's promotion to League One. However, the club has only won five of their 28 league games and is just four points from safety, triggering a change in leadership. Ferguson now appears to be putting himself into play by joining the Rovers with his former Toffees colleague Tony Grant as part of his teaching staff, according to The Times. After assisting Frank Lampard in a spectacular escape and avoid relegation to the Championship, the Scotsman left Everton at the end of last season, bringing an end to a 15-year friendship.
