MANAGER

Matthew James Taylor (born 30 January 1982) is an English professional football manager and former player who played as a centre back. He is the current manager of EFL Championship side Rotherham United.

Exeter City
Taylor was appointed manager of League Two club Exeter City, who he had previously captained, on 1 June 2018 replacing Paul Tisdale.[31] A bright start led to Taylor being nominated for the August 2018 EFL League Two Manager of the Month award.[32] Taylor voiced his disappointment at missing out on the EFL League Two promotion play-offs, the side missing out on a third successive top 7 finish by a single point.[33][34]

Taylor won the August 2019 EFL League Two Manager of the Month award following a strong start to Exeter's 2019–20 season, with the side winning four and drawing two of their opening six matches.[35] A strong set of results over the festive period meant Exeter finished 2019 in second place,[36] with Taylor himself being named EFL League Two Manager of the Month for December 2019.[37]

With his side ending the month in fourth position after achieving thirteen points from an unbeaten five matches, Taylor was again awarded the League Two Manager of the Month award for February 2022.[38]

Under Taylor, Exeter City won promotion to League One for the 2022–23 season after finishing second in the 2021–22 League Two table.[39]

On 1 October 2022, following a 2–2 draw with Bristol Rovers, Exeter confirmed that they had given Taylor permission to speak to Rotherham United regarding the vacant managerial position.[40]

Rotherham United
On 3 October 2022, Taylor was confirmed as the new Rotherham United manager, pending talks.[41] The appointment was made official the following day, Taylor signing a contract with the EFL Championship club until 2026[42] and was joined by his assistant, Wayne Carlisle, on the same contract terms.

INTERESTING BITS

The town in great part occupies the slopes of two hills; that in the west is the start of a 3 miles (4.8 km) north-west crest topped by Keppel's Column,a folly; that in the east is a narrower crest alongside the Rother known as Canklow Hill, topped by a protected laid out public area, Boston Park, less than 500 metres east of and 80 metres above the Rother. The Rother here is between 32 and 34 metres above sea level.[59] The south scarp here is slightly higher still, the Canklow Hill Earthworks, a Scheduled Ancient Monument, one of relatively few in the borough, as pre-dating recorded history.

Rotherham's commercial town centre occupies the valley in between these hills on the navigable part of the River Don flowing from the south-west after it has turned approximately due north. The town centre is less than 0.5 miles (0.80 km) below and north of the confluence of the Rother flowing from the south. The Mid Don Valley continues adjoining towns in the north of the Metropolitan Borough.
