Garry Monk appointed Cambridge United Head Coach

Garry Monk has signed a two-year deal at The Abbey until summer 2026.

The 44-year-old becomes the U's third Head Coach this season, following Mark Bonner's sacking in the winter, and Neil Harris's surprise return to Millwall last month.

Monk is best known for his time at Swansea City, where he played for over 10 years before becoming Manager, where he recorded an 8th place Premier League finish in his only full season in charge.

Jobs at Leeds United, Middlesbrough, Birmingham City and Sheffield Wednesday followed.

Cambridge United Majority Owner Paul Barry:

"We are very pleased to welcome Garry as our next Head Coach. 

"This follows a thorough process and three separate interviews with owners, board and senior staff from across the club last week where Garry emerged as our unanimous choice.

"He is a coach of high pedigree, has managed at the top level and impressed us all with his leadership skills, clarity of thinking and his analysis of Cambridge United - both the squad and the club."

Monk's first full day with the team will be Tuesday 5th March 2024.
