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.
'We want to play in a way the fans can enjoy and in a way that gets the best out of the players, and when you get that it can be really powerful.' Heckingbottom will be joined by assistant Stuart McCall and the pair will take charge of Preston's Championship fixture at home to Luton on Saturday. Preston are second-from-bottom 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.
