They may be playing in the sixth tier of English football, but Nuneaton Town have just hired a man who has promised to guide them to the Champions League... on Football Manager.

The National League North side have named the video game player and YouTube personality Kevin Chapman as their manager in the game after he pleaded for fans to tell him what team to take over.

A battle between Alfreton Town and Nuneaton ensued and it was Nuneaton who missed out and brought the 35-year-old in to meet their players and tour the stadium.

“Words cannot describe how crazy the last few weeks have been,” he told the Coventry Telegraph.
