MATTHEW ETHERINGTON has been named the new manager of Colchester.<\/p>\n
Etherington took over the U's Under-21 side during the summer but stepped up to replace Ben Garner at the senior squad last month.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The ex-Tottenham ace then led the League Two side to two wins and one draw in his first three matches in the third tier as caretaker boss.<\/p>\n
That convinced Colchester chairman Robbie Cowling and sporting director Dmitri Halajko to make the former West Ham ace's appointment permanent.<\/p>\n
Etherington said: "I'm extremely pleased, and obviously grateful to the chairman and Dmitri for giving me this opportunity, and I'll give everything I can to make sure this club is successful.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt's been a decent start in terms of the league form, but we need to make sure we maintain that going forwards.<\/p>\n
\u201cI'm a big believer in 'what will be will be' and here we are. I'm really looking forward to it and I'll give it everything I've got.\u201d<\/p>\n Etherington hit the headlines last year in December when he was sacked by Crawley Town after just three games in his first managerial job.<\/p>\n However, the 42-year-old tactician's fortunes completely changed at Colchester Community Stadium.<\/p>\n Halajko said: "Matty has had a good response from the players and his league points' return has been excellent as interim head coach.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cHe's a Pro Licence coach who has had experiences of first team coaching at other clubs, along with a playing career at the highest level.<\/p>\n \u201cThese experiences will put Matty in a great position to be a successful at Colchester United.<\/p>\n \u201cHe will now have the opportunity on a full-time basis and will have the full support at everybody at the club as we look to continue climbing up the league table.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/picture>DAN THE MAN <\/span><\/p>\n
