Bristol Rovers have announced the appointment of former Brighton defender Inigo Calderon as their new head coach.
The 42-year-old Spaniard replaces Matt Taylor, who left Rovers earlier this month with the club hovering close to the Sky Bet League One relegation zone.
Calderon joins the Gas after a spell managing Brighton & Hove Albion's under 18s and previously worked as a coach with Deportivo Alavés.
Rovers director of football George Friend said: “I am delighted to welcome Inigo to the club and have him on board as our new head coach.
