After a month of speculation about the who the new Manager would be and when it would be announced, the wait finally ended today with the announcement that Ronnie Moore is the new Gaffer at Prenton Park.

 

It’s been just over a month since Brian Little departed from Prenton Park but today the wait for his replacement finally came to and end as the Club announced that Ronnie Moore will take over the reigns with immediate effect.

 

Moore 53 was sacked last week as Manager of Oldham Athletic and returns to Rovers after previous spells at Prenton Park as both a player and Assistant Manager in the 70's 80's and 90's.  Moore was Assistant Manager to legendary boss Johnny King before leaving the Club to take charge at Rotherham in 1997.

 

In his subsequent eight year spell at Millmoor Ronnie guided Rotherham from League One to the Championship  and then kept them there until their relegation back to League One last season that saw Moore leave the Club and take charge at Oldham.

 

At Boundary Park, Moore guided Oldham from the brink of relegation to the verge of the play-offs last season but somehow became unpopular with the fans prior to his dismissal which was put down to a cost cutting exercise by the Latics.
