League One side Fleetwood Town appoint former Hibernian, Sunderland and Bristol City boss Lee Johnson as their manager.
In his last job in England, with Sunderland, Lee Johnson won the EFL Trophy and reached the League One play-offsThe 42-year-old joins having beenwho left"We are delighted to attract someone with the calibre and record of Lee Johnson - we see it as a real statement of intent,""During the process, we made it clear we were looking for an experienced manager who can help take what we feel is a very good squad up the table, and help to develop the club as a whole.
Johnson - whose contract length has not been disclosed - joins a Fleetwood side short on confidence, with the club second from bottom of League One and having earned just one point from their first six League One games.Lee Johnson has already amassed more than 500 senior matches in football management.
There are no two ways about it, having finished in a comfortable 13th position last term, and with Scott Brown handed a contract extension in the summer, there were grounds for optimism that a top-half finish was more than a distinct possibility for Town this time around.
