Wellens has been out of work since June

“I want to get the ball down, play positive, quick, passing football and bring results and success to this football club, because at this moment it is underachieving.” Wellens began his playing career in Manchester United’s academy, and went on to enjoy long spells with Blackpool, Leicester and Doncaster Rovers. He also turned out for Shrewsbury, Salford City, Macclesfield and Oldham Athletic, who hand Wellens his first coaching job in 2017.2

Phil Brown was sacked by Swindon two days ago
