Swindon Town have appointed former Lincoln City boss Mark Kennedy as their new head coach on a two-year contract.
Kennedy left the Imps in October 2023 after 18 months in the job, winning 18 of his 57 league games in charge.
The 48-year-old previously briefly managed Macclesfield and worked as a coach at Ipswich and Birmingham before joining Lincoln.
Swindon endured one of their worst campaigns in 2023-24, finishing 19th in League Two, four places above the relegation zone.
Former Republic of Ireland winger Kennedy retired from playing in 2012 after a career that included spells at Millwall, Liverpool, Manchester City, Wolves, Crystal Palace and Cardiff City.
He said he was “looking forward” to the project already in place at the club.
“I also think it’s crucial we look forward now and plan for the future with the exciting plans here at this sleeping giant of a football club, which I’m confident we can all achieve if we’re all pulling in the same direction,” Kennedy said.
