Simon Davey confirmed as new Hereford manager
Simon Davey has been confirmed as the new Hereford manager, just six days after his shock resignation at Darlington.
The 39-year-old last week confirmed his intention to quit the north-east club, who were last season relegated from League Two, after just 11 weeks in charge.
The former Barnsley manager has signed a two-year deal to take over at Edgar Street, succeeding the caretaker manager and chairman, Graham Turner, after Turner ended his 15-year association with the club by selling his shareholding and completing a move to Shrewsbury earlier this month.
"I'm hugely impressed by their enthusiasm and passion for the club and I think the next few seasons are going to be very exciting at Edgar Street," Davey told Hereford's official website. "It's a fresh start – a chance for a new beginning and from what I know the fans are among the most loyal around and hopefully they'll come out in their thousands to cheer us on."
