Bolton have announced the appointment of Ian Evatt as their new head coach. The 38-year-old arrives at the Sky Bet League Two Trotters after guiding Barrow back into the English Football League this season. Evatt, who has named Peter Atherton as his number two, replaces Keith Hill at the University of Bolton Stadium after his contract was not renewed last month. Evatt told Bolton’s website: “Bolton Wanderers is a fantastic football club with an incredible history and fanbase and this is a really exciting opportunity for us all. Evatt enjoyed promotion in his first managerial role as Barrow finished the curtailed National League season four points clear at the top.
