Peter Taylor is back in management after taking charge at Welling United.

Taylor replaces departed manager Steve Lovell - another former Gillingham manager - who quit The Wings before the weekend.

Taylor, 68, was last in management at Dagenham & Redbridge.

The former Dartford, Dover and Gillingham boss will hope he can turn the fortunes around at Park View Road. He joins a club who lost 6-0 to Dartford at the weekend and sit next to bottom in National South.

A statement from Welling said: “The club is delighted to announce the appointment of Peter Taylor as the new first-team manager.

“Peter has had an illustrious football career both as a player and then subsequently as a manager, managing not only in the Premier League with Leicester City as well as various Football League Clubs (leading teams to promotion on four separate occasions), but also at international level with the England Under 21 team and Under 20 team.

“Peter has taken charge of the first-team’s training session today and his first game in charge will be on Saturday away to Oxford.”
