Fancy yourself as a manager?

Well, the new owners of National League side Gateshead are inviting applications to become the new first-team boss of the Tyneside club.

American private investment company Flacks Group completed their takeover last week and now their first task is to appoint a manager for the Heed and they have posted both online and on social media to widen their search.

Gateshead are bottom of the league, have taken just four points from a possible 45, are 13 points adrift of safety and they have been without a permanent boss since ex-Sunderland and Middlesbrough player Lee Cattermole left early last month, with Ben Clark in interim charge.

Prospective applicants are invited to send in copies of their CVs to the new ownership, along with a covering letter outlining their coaching experience and "coaching philosophy".

The advert describes Gateshead as a "progressive club" with "strong ambitions", so they will hope for a good calibre of candidates, as staying up in the National League this season looks like a very difficult job.

Candidates will also need a minimum of a UEFA A licence coaching badge and previous experience as a manager or assistant in senior football and an ability to communicate well with both players and to those outside the club.

Still interested? Well, good luck!
