1st) MICHAEL FLYNN
Michael Flynn is the current manager of League Two side Newport County.
In March 2017, he was appointed as caretaker for the remainder of the 2016/17 season after the sacking of Graham Westley with Newport 11 points adrift at the bottom of League Two. Flynn led the team to Football League survival, avoiding relegation with a win in the final match of the season and confirming the second ‘great escape’ in the club’s history.
In May 2017, Flynn was appointed the permanent manager. Since then, his side beat Leeds United in the FA Cup Third Round, Newport then drew Tottenham in the Fourth Round, achieving a 1–1 draw to force a replay at Wembley Stadium. Tottenham however won the replay.
Flynn’s first full season at Newport County saw them finish the 2017/18 season in 11th place in League Two.
So far this season, he’s took them to the League Two playoff final.
Current odds on Sky Bet: 6/4
