Preston North End have appointed Paul Heckingbottom as their new manager.
The Championship club have been searching for a new boss since Ryan Lowe departed by mutual consent just three days after the first match of the season. Heckingbottom, 47, guided Sheffield United to the Premier League in 2022/23 but was sacked last December with the club bottom of the table.
' Preston are second-from-bottom in the Championship after losing their first two league matches, although they did beat Sunderland 2-0 in the first round of the Carabao Cup under interim manager Mike Marsh. Preston director Peter Ridsdale added: 'I'm delighted that Paul Heckingbottom has joined us as first team manager. 'We identified that we wanted Paul to be the man to take us forward and moved swiftly over the weekend.
