Newport County have announced the appointment of John Sheridan as manager, one day after Terry Butcher was sacked by the League Two outfit.
Sheridan has agreed a short-term deal with the club, who currently reside at the bottom of the league table following just one win in 10 matches.
Sheridan, who ended a two-year spell at Plymouth Argyle in the summer, will be in the dugout for this Saturday's match against Exeter City at Rodney Parade.
"Following the Supporters Trust taking control of the club in the past 24 hours, I am confident that if the players and fans work together we can help the squad climb the table, away from the relegation zone," Sheridan told the club's official website. "From my time at with Plymouth, Chesterfield and Oldham, I know what is required to succeed in this division."
The board added: "The trust board are delighted that John has agreed to join us. He comes with an excellent track record and we would ask fans continue to support the club by coming along to John's first game against Exeter on Saturday, and of course the first game as a supporter owned community based club."
Sheridan will be assisted by Byron Anthony and Michael Flynn for this weekend's game.
