Swindon Town have this afternoon announced Scott Lindsey has been promoted to head coach and has signed a three-year contract with the club.
Sandro Di Michele, Town’s Technical Director, said: “We have a clear philosophy on how we want this football club to operate and over the last 12 months Scott Lindsey has played a key role in shaping that.
“Scott clearly believes in a possession based, attacking brand of football and he fully supports our data lead recruitment strategy.
“He is hugely respected by the players and has been integral to their development. All these factors made Scott the standout choice and I’m incredibly excited for the future of Swindon Town Football Club with Scott as Head Coach.”
Following his appointment, Scott Lindsey expressed his delight at getting the opportunity to manage the club. “It means a lot to me to be the head coach of this fantastic football club,” said Lindsey.
“There’s some great people behind the scenes working here. You only had to look at last season to see how well supported this club is, averaging nearly 10,000 people every week, which is amazing for this standard of football.
“Away from home the following was just incredible, so to be head coach of this club, with that kind of following, is just fantastic. I’m really looking forward to it.
“The club wanted some continuity going forward and they don’t want to go too far away from how we play, so that was an important factor.”
