O'Driscoll named Crawley boss

Sean O'Driscoll has been appointed as the new manager of Crawley.

The 54-year-old ex-Doncaster boss had been working as first-team coach at Nottingham Forest since January but has agreed to take over at Broadfield Stadium with immediate effect.

In a statement released by the club, O'Driscoll said: "I did a lot of due diligence on Crawley Town before I decided to accept the club's offer. I have been impressed with the owners and people behind the scenes and I am looking forward to helping the club establish itself in League One."
