Scunthorpe appoints Andy Preece as new manager

Scunthorpe United appointed Andy Preece as their new manager on November 13, 2026, following the departure of Andy Butler last month. Preece signed an 18-month contract after previously managing Chorley in the National League North, where he led them to play-off appearances. Scunthorpe currently sits second-bottom in their league, struggling with just three wins from their first 15 matches this season. Assistant Chris Anderson, who worked with Preece at Chorley, will join him at Scunthorpe. The team is set to host Worthing in their next match on Saturday at Glanford Park.
