Addressing the media for the first time a short while after, the 39-year-old said: "It's an incredible feeling. Firstly, I'm really grateful to everyone, to the board, to Patrick, to Kevin, for their trust and faith in me.
"It's been a really tough and rigorous process. It's taken some time, but that's what you expect when you want to be a manager of this football club, to put the club of this stature in size and expectation.
"So I'm delighted it's ended up with me being in this chair, and I'm extremely grateful for that as well. And now I'm just desperate to get started and excited about what's to come and what we can really get building here."
