Russell Slade, who was a fans' favourite at Boro, has been appointed as new Coventry City boss

Former Scarborough FC manager Russell Slade has been appointed as manager of League One strugglers Coventry City.

Slade, who managed Boro between 2001-2004, left Charlton Athletic recently, after spells with Cardiff City, Leyton Orient, Brighton, Yeovil and Grimsby Town.

The Sky Blues are languishing second-from-bottom in League One, former boss Tony Mowbray resigned recently, before Mark Venus had a spell in temporary charge.

Slade famously led Boro to their infamous FA Cup third round clash against Chelsea at the McCain Stadium
