Blue Square Bet premier club Histon have announce the appointment of David Livermore as manager.
Livermore has played at a high level in this country, making more than 400 appearances at clubs including Arsenal, Millwall, Hull City, Oldham, Brighton, Luton Town and Barnet.
He has played at Wembley in an FA Cup Final against Manchester United and featured in teams which have been Championship play-off Final winner, League One champions and FA Youth Premier League champions and also played in the UEFA Cup.
Now in the wake of this impressive playing career, Livermore is keen to progress a football career in the management and coaching side of the game and the Histon board of directors are pleased to provide him with an opportunity.
Chairman Russell Hands said: "David has played at a high level, under some highly-regarded managers and coaches and we were impressed by the way he has assimilated the best approaches he has experienced to underpin his own organisation, communication and leadership skills and style.
"David's experience as a young professional within the Arsenal Academy - one of the best in the country - is really valuable and relevant experience as it equips him to help us achieve one of our priorities which is developing our own youngsters in the the Histon Academy."
Livermore commented: "I am pleased, proud and excited to be offered this chance to move into football management. It is tremendous to be able to make my managerial debut at a club like Histon in the Blue Square Bet Premier and I am really relishing the opportunity and the challenge.
"I was most impressed with the attitude and commitment displayed by all the players at Newport County on Saturday and I can't wait to get working with them in training and preparing for another important game on Tuesday night."
Livermore`s first game in charge will be on Tuesday night when Eastbourne Borough visit the Glassworld Stadium.
