Phil Brown appointed Southend United boss

Southend United appoint former Hull City boss Phil Brown as their new manager.

Southend United have appointed former Hull City boss Phil Brown as their new manager.

The Blues have been without a boss since relieving Paul Sturrock of his duties on Sunday.

However, the club have moved quickly to appoint Brown, who joins with a wealth of managerial experience having guided Hull to the Premier League in 2008.

"I'm delighted to have been given the opportunity here at Southend and it's a challenge I'm really looking forward to," he told the club's official website.

"We've got seven league games between now and the end of the season, hopefully we can put a winning run together and give ourselves a chance of reaching the playoffs.

"We've got a few days of training between now and the game against Bradford that will give me a chance to take a look at the players.

"The Easter period is always tough because you play twice in such a short space of time, but it's a good opportunity to pick up six points and get that winning run started."

Brown's first game in charge will be against Bradford on Friday.
