Oldham Athletic have appointed the former England and Blackburn Rovers midfielder David Dunn as their permanent manager.
The 35-year-old was appointed as interim manager following the departure of Darren Kelly last month, having joined the club in July, and has guided them to four successive draws in League One.
“Oldham Athletic Football Club is delighted to announce confirmation that David Dunn has been appointed as the club’s new first-team manager on a permanent basis,” read a statement on the club’s website.
“Everyone at the club has been very impressed with the way David has gone about his business since taking over the reins on an interim basis,” added the chairman Simon Corney.
“His dedication, hard work and exacting standards have already had a positive effect on the club and the way he has approached the role has made it impossible for us not to give him his chance.
“We believe his ambition, skills and positive influence will be pivotal to the club’s progression.”
