Crawley Town have revealed they have appointed former Boston United boss Steve Evans as their manager for the new Blue Square Premier season.
The 44-year-old Evans resigned from his position with the Pilgrims on Sunday following their relegation from League Two and numerous off-field problems.
It is somewhat ironic that Evans should now take up the job at Broadfield Stadium, which has not been short of its own drama as the club finally look to progress following months of uncertainty.
Evans apparently has a two-year plan to reach the Football League with the Red Devils, who he believes is a club that match his ambitions.
Evans told The Argus: "I decided that if I was going to manage another club in the Conference, they would have to be ambitious.
"There are a lot of teams who, although they wouldn't admit it, don't want to progress but Crawley is not one of them, they meet my ambitions.
"With Steve Evans in charge, I can assure you that there will be a winning team on the pitch.
"I have a two to three year plan to reach the Football League. If we could do it in one, then that would be great but that is unlikely because it will take a bit of time to get everything into place.
"There are only four players on contracts from last season so this is a chance to start with a clean slate.
"They are four lads I would wish to work with anyway and I am looking forward to building a new team with them in it."
Evans guided Boston to the Conference title in 2002, two years after taking them into non-league's top flight from the Dr Martens League.
He was banned from football for 20 months soon after for tax offences at the Lincolnshire club and given a one-year suspended prison sentence last November.
"When I took over at Boston I saw a club with a lot of potential," Evans added.
"That is the same thing I see at Crawley. They are coming out the other end of their financial problems and, although there is a lot of work still to do, the club has everything to go into the Football League."
