Matt Taylor has swiftly returned to the managerial scene after being dismissed by Rotherham United less than a month ago. The decision to part ways with Taylor came in the wake of a slow start to the Championship season, leaving the managerial position at Rotherham United currently under the stewardship of a caretaker team.
In a timely move, Taylor has now taken on the role of the new manager for League One side Bristol Rovers. The managerial vacancy arose at the Memorial Stadium following the dismissal of Joey Barton in late October. Taylor has committed to a three-and-a-half-year deal with the club, and he is set to lead the team in his debut match in the FA Cup against Crewe Alexandra this weekend.
Expressing the club’s satisfaction with the appointment, Bristol Rovers chairman Hussain Al-Saeed stated, “We are delighted today to announce the appointment of Matt Taylor as our first-team manager. We would like to thank our fans for being patient with us throughout this thorough process while we identified the correct person to lead us in this new era for Bristol Rovers.”
Al-Saeed further highlighted Taylor’s alignment with the club’s growth vision, stating, “Matt shared our visions of growing the club and has bought into our project. I am sure you will all join me in welcoming Matt to the club and wishing him every success.”
