WEBB WEAVES HIS WAY TO HUISH PARK

 Yeovil Town have appointed former player Danny Webb as their new manager in succession to Mark Cooper. 

Webb, who was previously employed as assistant manager to Paul Cook at League Two side Chesterfield, played seven times for the Glovers in the 2006-07 and is the son of former Yeovil manager Dave Webb, who famously scored the winning goal for Chelsea in the FA Cup final replay against Leeds United in 1970. 

Since his retirement in 2014, Webb worked with the youth teams at Leyton Orient before working with the first team, which included 12 games in temporary charge of the first team in 2017. He then returned to the club's backroom staff where he worked alongside Justin Edinburgh as they won promotion back to the Football League in 2019. 

He joined Chesterfield in 2021 and assisted Cook as the Spireites won promotion from the National League in the 2023-24 campaign. 

Webb has agreed a contract until 2027 in what will be his first permanent managerial role.
