EVIN Nugent reckons now is the perfect time to shed the ‘caretaker’ tag and become the main man – and leading Barnet to the League Two play-offs is his aim.
The 47-year-old has previously had three spells as caretaker manager at Leyton Orient, as well as temporary spells in charge of Swansea and Charlton, the latter earlier this season.
Barnet lost manager Martin Allen to National League big-spenders Eastleigh at the start of December, with Rossi Eames and Henry Newman holding the fort in the meantime.
But now Bees chairman Tony Kleanthous has given Nugent the chance to take the reins until the end of the season, with Eames assisting him. Often, new managers are appointed when clubs are in a relegation battle, but that’s not the case at the north London club.
Enticing
Heading into yesterday’s big game against Portsmouth at The Hive, Barnet were 11th in the table, just three points off the play-offs. It makes it an enticing opportunity for Nugent.
