Short gets Notts County job

Notts County have appointed Craig Short as their new manager on a three-year contract.

The former Magpies captain, who played 128 times for the club, spent last season in charge of Hungarian side Ferencvaros. He will be joined in his role by a technical director who is expected to be confirmed next week.

Short replaces Steve Cotterill who left Meadow Lane last month at the end of his short-term deal after guiding the club to the League Two title.
