Coughlan - themaclad - 19-11-2024
Boston United have named former Newport County and Bristol Rovers boss Graham Coughlan as they new manager.
The 50-year-old takes the helm of the Pilgrims as they sit second from bottom in the National League table.
Irishman Coughlan has been appointed as Ian Culverhouse's permanent replacement, with the promotion-winning 60-year-old sacked just 16 games into their return to the fifth tier.
Boston say they have turned to the former Plymouth Argyle and Sheffield Wednesday defender, who has spent a vast majority of his coaching career working in the English Football League, "as they seek to retain their National League status".
Coughlan, who has also previously been Mansfield Town boss and as a development coach at Sheffield United, was most recently in charge of Newport in League Two. His 20-month tenure at the Welsh club came to an end in June.
Coughlan has started work immediately and his first match in charge of the Pilgrims will be Saturday's home game against Braintree Town at the Jakemans Community Stadium.
