Dan's the Man

Wilson officially unveiled as Town manager

Andrew Fitton formally introduced new Town manager Danny Wilson today insisting 'we have the right man to do the job'.

Wilson, who was appointed on Saturday just hours before Swindon were victorious at Orient, will officially take charge of his first game at home to Brighton this afternoon.

Looking ahead:

He replaces former boss Maurice Malpas, who was relieved of his duties in November after a poor run of results.

Fitton said: "It's been a long process, but we've finally found our man.

"We were looking for someone who has the experience of getting promotion from the lower leagues and Danny has that.

"The board are delighted he's our new manager."

Former Bristol City, Barnsley and Hartlepool boss Wilson inherits a Swindon side lying 18th in League One, just three points from the relegation zone.

But the 48-year-old is relishing the task of building on yesterday's win and working with a squad he describes as having 'massive potential'.

"It's a great opportunity for myself and the players," Wilson said.

"I know a few of them and others have got a great reputation in this league.

"I think it's a really exciting challenge."
