Hargreaves of course has a working knowledge of the National League from his spell as a BT Sport pundit, which he combined with number of years coaching at Bristol Rovers, where he held a variety of roles - which have included a brief spell as assistant manager and taking charge of the club's Under-21 side.
As well as drafting in former Gulls teammate Chris Todd, Hargreaves has also brought in ex Glovers striker Marcus Stewart as head of player development - as Yeovil aim to build a team around younger players with a focus of youth development.
Much of the Glover's side who finished 12th in the 2021-22 National League has been maintained whilst Hargreaves has also looked to improve his goal scoring options with arrivals of Ollie Hulbert and Malachi Linton, in addition to the return of Alex Fisher. He has also used his contacts across the South West to bring in Sam Pearson and Finley Craske from Bristol City and Plymouth Argyle respectively.
Jamie Reckord will also help add experience to a defence who have lost Luke Wilkinson, who has rejoined with Sarll at the Kingsfield Stadium.
On the eve of the start of the campaign, Hargreaves was dealt a blow following the departure of Tom Knowles to Walsall. Since his arrival from Cambridge United in 2020 Knowles had emerged as a key player for the Glovers, and scored 11 times in all competitions last season - so his departure will be strongly felt.
Player to Watch: Malachi Linton
After a promising loan spell with King's Lynn Town last season with eight goals in 20 appearances, Malachi Linton looks set to spearhead the Glovers' attack in 2022-23, following his release by Wycombe Wanderers. With Knowles now gone, there is now greater emphasis on the Yeovil forward line to find the back of the net and he certainly has the potential to reach double figures with the right service.
In: Ollie Hulbert (Bristol Rovers), Malachi Linton (Wycombe Wanderers), Jamie Reckord (Boreham Wood), Alex Fisher (Newport County), Chiori Johnson (Torquay United), Sam Perry (Walsall, loan), Sam Pearson and Will Buse (Bristol City, loan), Finley Craske (Plymouth Argyle, loan)
Out: Reuben Reid (Weston Super Mare), Luke Wilkinson (Woking), Dale Gorman (Barnet), Tom Knowles (Walsall), Alex Bradley (Tamworth), Adi Yussuff (St Joseph's FC, Gibraltar)
