After the becoming the fourth manager to take charge of Yeovil Town in the 2025-26 campaign, Billy Rowley made a winning start to his managerial reign in charge of the Glovers.
Former Chelsea, Fulham and Millwall academy coach Rowley made his name as manager with Southern League Premier South side Walton and Hersham, who were top of the league when he was approached by Yeovil.
He follows in the footsteps of Mark Cooper, Danny Webb (who returned to his role as assistant manager at Chesterfield after failing to settle at Huish Park) and former interim boss Richard Dryden.
A Luke McCormick brace helped to seal a 2-1 victory over Boston United and Rowley's next task will be to unite the Glovers' fanbase and build towards a return to the Football League.
Plymouth Argyle have also seen a return in the non-playing staff as former manager Derek Adams has returned to the club as director of football to work alongside manager Tom Cleverley and head of football operations David Fox.
Adams managed the Pilgrims between 2015 and 2019, during which time he led them to the League Two Play-off final in 2015-16, promotion from League Two as runners-up in 2016-17 before leading them to a seventh place finish in League One in 2017-18.
Since leaving Home Park in 2019, Adams has had three spells in charge of Morecambe (2019-2021, 2022-2023 and 2024-2025); in his first spell with the Shrimps he guided them to promotion to League One in 2020-21, courtesy of a League Two Play-off victory over Newport County.
He has also had a brief spell in charge of Bradford City and a third stint north of the border with Ross County. His experience of the lower leagues will no doubt prove to be invaluable to Argyle and Cleverley.
