Mccall is new manager of The Iron

Scunthorpe have appointed Stuart Mccall as their new manager.

The Sky Bet League One club, who sacked Nick Daws on Friday after only five games as permanent manager, confirmed Mccall will be assisted by Kenny Black.

Andy Dawson took charge of Saturday’s home draw against Barnsley and will be retained as firstteam coach, the club said.

“Scunthorpe United is delighted to announce Stuartmccallastheclub’snew first-team manager,” read a statement on the club’s official website.

“The 54-year-old will be joined by Kenny Black, who will be the Iron’s firstteam assistant manager, and has previously worked with Mccall at Motherwell, Rangers and Bradford City.

“We’re also pleased to confirm Andy Dawson will remain at the club as firstteam coach.”

Former Scotland, Bradford and Everton midfielder Mccall has had two permanent spells in charge of Bradford and steered Motherwell to a secondplaced finish in the Scottish Premiership before taking charge of Rangers in 2015.

He returned to Bradford in 2016 and guided them to the Sky Bet League One play-off final in 2017 before he was sacked in February.

Iron chairman Peter Swann admitted he had made a mistake in appointing Daws as permanent manager in May after sacking him on Friday.

Scunthorpe have won only one of their first five League One matches and are 18th in the table.
