Martin Paterson: Notts County appoint ex-Burton Albion boss as head coach

Notts County have appointed former Burton Albion boss Martin Paterson as their new head coach.

The League Two club have been without a head coach for a month since Stuart Maynard was sacked following their play-off semi-final defeat by AFC Wimbledon.

Former Northern Ireland international forward Paterson, 38, had a brief spell in charge of Burton in the second half of the 2023-24 season, helping them narrowly avoid relegation from League One.

Notts director of football Roberto Gagliardi told the club website, external that he was "hugely excited" by Paterson's appointment.

"In our conversations with him it's been clear that he shares our vision of playing dynamic, progressive football and, as much as the club's DNA will remain the same in terms of our desire to dominate the ball, we believe he may bring more intensity and directness to our play," Gagliardi said.
