SCOTT BROWN has landed his first managerial job after being appointed as Fleetwood’s new boss.
The Celtic legend, 36, retired last week to pursue his dreams of becoming a manager.
And following the conclusion of the League One campaign where they finished 20th, the Cod Army have swiftly named Brown as their next gaffer.
Fleetwood had entrusted Stephen Crainey on an interim basis in December following the departure of Simon Grayson until the end of the season.
Speaking to the club’s website, Brown said: “I’m delighted to have been named Head Coach at Fleetwood Town, it’s a great opportunity at a really exciting club.
“I’ve always had a real desire to move into management and can’t wait to meet the players and staff and get started.
“The hard work starts now – I’m now looking forward to getting onto the grass.”
