Kevin Nolan is on the verge of being appointed as the new Northampton Town manager.
The Cobblers parted ways with John Brady last week after a 2-0 defeat to Birmingham City, leaving fans anxious about who would take the reins. Now, it appears the search is over, with former Irons favourite Nolan ready to step into the hot seat.
This marks a significant opportunity for Nolan, who has carried himself well since departing his role at West Ham when [David Moyes’](https://www.claretandhugh.info/david-moyes-bio/) contract wasn’t renewed. There certainly would have been too many who would have predicted that Nolan would beat his old gaffer back into management but that’s precisely what has happened.
A proud servant of **West Ham** both as captain and coach, Nolan has consistently spoken warmly about his time at Upton Park and later at the [London Stadium](https://www.claretandhugh.info/london-stadium-bio/), where he had two stints as part of Moyes’ backroom team.
The former Leyton Orient and Notts County manager faces a fresh challenge, battling to steer Northampton Town clear of League One relegation. Nolan had been linked with the Bristol Rovers job, but it’s now clear he’s headed to their league rivals.
Best of luck to Nolan in his new role—perhaps we’ll see him back at West Ham one day for a remarkable fourth spell!
