Carl Magnay Named New Manager of Gateshead FC

Gateshead FC has officially appointed Carl Magnay as their new manager, returning him to a club where he previously played and coached. Magnay, who served as a first-team coach at Carlisle United and MK Dons, takes over from Rob Elliot, who left the club after a successful run. He is joined by Liam Bridcutt as the new coach; both have strong ties to the club's history and prior playing experience. Gateshead currently sits fourth in the National League, with hopes that Magnay's familiarity with the club's culture will foster continued success. The board emphasized the importance of thorough selection and supporter patience during this transition. Magnay's return is seen as an opportunity to build on the progress made under his predecessors, particularly in terms of team cohesion and performance.
