Former midfielder last managed Notts County in 2018Northampton currently 20th in League One
Kevin Nolan is poised to be named Northampton Town’s new manager. The former West Ham first-team coach is expected to return to a No 1 role for the first time since being sacked by Notts County in August 2018. Nolan’s first taste of management came as a player-manager at Leyton Orient two years earlier.
The 42-year-old former Bolton and Newcastle midfielder was part of David Moyes’s staff at West Ham for four years but left when the Scot departed the club in May this year and has been keen to return to frontline management.
