New Head Coach takes charge

4 January 2024

Colchester United are delighted to welcome Danny Cowley as new Head Coach.

The U's have worked quickly to secure their number one target, with Danny taking charge immediately alongside his brother Nicky.

It is a return to Essex for the duo, who started their management careers together at Concord Rangers.

Three promotions with Rangers saw them move to Braintree Town, and subsequently Lincoln City.

They then took Lincoln from the National League into League One, and also led them on a fantastic  FA Cup run whilst still in non-league.

The Imps beat Championship sides Ipswich Town and Brighton & Hove Albion and Premier League Burnley in an FA Cup run that ended with defeat against Arsenal in the Quarter-Finals. 

Moves to Huddersfield and Portsmouth followed, and the Cowleys now return to football management at the U's.

They oversaw training for the first time on Thursday afternoon, and will take charge of their first match at the weekend, with the U's travelling to Swindon Town.

Watch the first interview with the pair now on our YouTube channel.
