Burton Albion confirm appointment of new manager Gary Rowett

Burton Albion appoint caretaker coach Gary Rowett as the League Two side's full-time manager.

Burton Albion have announced that caretaker manager Gary Rowett will take the club forward on a long-term basis after signing a contract to become the club's permanent coach.

The 36-year-old, who has had playing stints at Everton and Birmingham City during his career, has been in charge of the League Two side since former boss Paul Peschisolido left the club in March.

"I'm very pleased to be able to announce Gary Rowett as our new manager," club chairman Ben Robinson told the club's official website. "Gary took over at a difficult time for the club after a long string of poor results and he has been able to achieve safety in the Football League which was the primary aim.

"We now look forward to a summer where I am sure the necessary changes will be made as we plan for the upcoming 2012-13 season.

"I have been impressed by Gary both during his time as assistant and caretaker manager and I have every faith that he will prove to be a success as the manager of Burton Albion on a full time basis."

Rowett played for the Brewers on 47 occasions before moving into management.
