Colchester United appoint new head coach as former Swindon boss returns to League Two
Matt Bloomfield left for Wycombe last week
Colchester United have appointed Ben Garner as their new head coach.
The 42-year-old, who led Swindon to the play-offs last season and was sacked by League One Charlton Athletic earlier this season, takes over from Matt Bloomfield. Bloomfield left for Wycombe last week shortly before Colchester were beaten 1-0 by Northampton.
Garner is set to observe Saturday's game against Bradford City, which will be overseen by caretaker manager Ross Embleton, before taking training for the first time early next week.
