Grant McCann returns to Doncaster Rovers as Manager
It's McCann's second spell in charge of Rovers
Doncaster Rovers have confirmed the appointment of Grant McCann as manager.
The 43-year-old makes his return to the Eco-Power Stadium, having previously guided Rovers into the League One play-offs during the brilliant 2018/19 season.
“Once I heard of the interest, it was a tremendous opportunity for myself,” Grant said. “After the phone calls came, I had a chat with my wife and the first thing she said was it was one of the happiest times she’d seen me when I was at Doncaster. That really hit home with me.
“I loved my time here, I enjoyed every minute and I’m looking forward to it.”
Former Northern Ireland international Grant has taken charge of almost 350 matches over a seven-year career in management which has included winning the Sky Bet League One title with Hull City.
Chairman David Blunt said: “We are delighted to secure the return of Grant to the club.
“His previous season here was one of the most thrilling in recent memory, with a breathless brand of attacking, aggressive football that carried us into the brink of a play-off final.
“In his time away from the club, he has only developed as a manager and we know we are getting an even stronger version of Grant this time around.
“This is a very exciting time for the club, with Grant’s return and Terry’s injection of additional funds, and we are looking forward to a competitive season ahead.”
