Plymouth have appointed John Deehan as the club's Director of Football to assist manager Carl Fletcher until the end of the season.
The 54 year old former Norwich manager has spent most of his career as no.2 to a string of managers including Mike Walker, John Gregory, and Steve Bruce. More recently he has had mentoring roles at Northampton, Lincoln, and Grimsby to mixed success. He helped the Cobblers to promotion, but was axed by Lincoln during their sliding fortunes, and released by Grimsby when they were relegated from the League.
Meanwhile, Stevenage have appointed Gary Smith as their new manager. The 43 year old former Wycombe and Barnet midfielder has had various coaching roles with the likes of Watford and Wycombe before ending up as manager of MLS side Colorado Rapids for three years.
