Stevenage hire ex-Bulls boss Russell Slade as ‘managerial consultant’

League Two Stevenage have brought in former Hereford manager Russell Slade as a ‘managerial consultant’ to boost their battle for survival.
The appointment of Slade, pictured, by new Stevenage manager Alex Revell Slade was announced on Monday, less than a month after his Edgar Street exit.
A Stevenage FC statement read: “New Stevenage manager Alex Revell has invited Russell Slade to join his staff as a managerial consultant in the club’s fight to stay in the EFL.
“Slade has 25 years of experience, managing over 800 games in the Football League and twice signed Revell as a player, at Leyton Orient and Cardiff City.
“Revell said: ‘I have always respected Russ and it will be a great boost to be able to use his experience around the training ground and on matchdays.

Slade and the Bulls went their separate ways in the middle of January after a run off just one win in 14 National League North outings before the appointment of defender and former skipper Josh Gowling as caretaker boss.

Appointed at the end of August, Slade left with a record of four wins, six draws and nine defeats, his Bulls scoring 19 goals and conceding 31.
