Ex-Pompey and Charlton star is new boss of Bognor Regis Town
Danny Hollands has been appointed as the new manager of Bognor Regis Town after Jamie Howell left the position earlier this week.
Hollands, 40. who played a handful of matches for the club earlier this season, will take training tonight (Thursday) to prepare for the crucial upcoming Isthmian South Central division home game against high-flying Westfield on Saturday.
Howell parted ways with Bognor following the 3-1 defeat at Kingstonian with the Rocks looking to avoid being dragged in to a relegation dogfight.
A club spokesman said: "We are delighted that Danny has agreed to become our new manager and we very much hope he can help us consolidate our position in the Isthmian South Central division this season, and then look to lead team affairs thereafter as we look to rebuild."
Former Pompey skipper Hollands, known as a reliable, hard-working midfielder, brings a wealth of experience to the role -- gleaned from his playing days at Fratton Park and before that as a youth player at Chelsea.
He subsequently played for AFC Bournemouth, Charlton and Crewe Alexandra, before joining Eastleigh. He then switched to Gosport Borough and took up a joint manager's position at the start of this season but quit last October.
