Notts County close on new boss

The League Two club has been without a manager since Ian McParland left the club last week.

Director of football Sven Goran Eriksson is responsible for bringing in a new manager at the club.

“We are on schedule in our search for a new manager,” said chief executive Gary Townsend.

“It is fair to say we have been inundated with applications of a very high standard.

“As we have consistently said, Sven is responsible for this appointment. We are making excellent progress and hope to have a new appointment in place by the end of next week.”
