John Eustace has been named new manager of Blackburn Rovers.

Eustace takes charge after Jon Dahl Tomasson stepped down as Rovers boss this week.

The former Watford and Birmingham City manager has signed to 2025.

Eustace said: “I am delighted to be the new Head Coach of such a fantastic football club as Blackburn Rovers, which has such a proud history and tradition within the game.

“I am excited for this new challenge in my career and can't wait to get started.

“I am looking forward to being at Ewood Park tomorrow and meeting the supporters, who can play a big part for us between now and the end of the season.

“I will give my all to ensure the fans have a team they can be proud of and, together, I hope we can quickly start climbing the table."
