CHESTERFIELD assistant manager Danny Webb has been announced as the new manager of Yeovil Town.

Webb previously made seven appearances for the Glovers in 2006/7 and replaces Mark Cooper who was sacked on August 26.

He has penned a two-year deal with the club.

The new manager has a job on his hands, as Yeovil currently sits in 18th place in the National League as the club collected just seven points in its first eight games.

42-year-old Webb brings a wealth of experience to the role, with his management career taking him from youth development to senior management.

Webb began his coaching career with Leyton Orient, progressing through their youth ranks to guide the U16s to a national cup triumph and the U18s to an unbeaten Merit League Two title.

He later stepped into the senior set-up and played a key role in Orient’s return to the Football League as National League champions in 2018/19, as well as reaching the FA Trophy Final at Wembley.

In 2021, Webb joined Chesterfield as assistant manager, where he was a key figure in their resurgence.

He helped guide the Spireites to three consecutive National League play-off campaigns, celebrated promotion as National League champions in 2023/24 under Paul Cook, and most recently contributed to a League Two play-off campaign in Chesterfield’s first season back in the EFL.

A Yeovil Town spokesperson said: “Danny takes charge at Huish Park, and we are excited to see him lead our club into an exciting new chapter of ambition and growth. He has signed a deal running until summer 2027.

“Richard Dryden will lead the team this weekend, with Danny Webb taking the reins next week ahead of our trip to Tamworth.”

His playing career as a defender saw him enjoy spells at Southend United, Hull City, Cambridge United, Yeovil Town, Marsaxlokk, AFC Wimbledon, Chelmsford City, Havant & Waterlooville, Salisbury City and Bath City.
