Former Blackpool and QPR manager accepts role Club sit just above League Two relegation zone
Ian Holloway has made a surprise return to football after being confirmed as the new manager of Swindon Town.
Holloway has been out of work since resigning from his post at Grimsby in December 2020 and was widely assumed to have fully stepped away from management following a career in which he taken charge of eight different clubs across 24 years, including Blackpool, who he led to the Premier League in 2010. But the colourful former Bristol Rovers and Queens Park Rangers midfielder is back, replacing Mark Kennedy at Swindon after he was sacked following the club’s poor start to the season. Swindon sit one place above the League Two relegation zone with only two wins from 13 games after Kennedy’s appointment in May.
