Danny Searle lands Ebbsfleet manager job after 'strong' caretaker spell
- Published
Danny Searle had a brief spell as Waterford manager in the League of Ireland
Danny Searle has been given the Ebbsfleet United manager's job.
Searle was handed the job on an interim basis after the sacking of Dennis Kutrieb a fortnight ago.
With assistant Anwar Uddin also appointed, Searle has overseen draws against leaders Chesterfield and promotion hopefuls Oldham.
A club statement said "performances against Oldham Athletic and Chesterfield are an excellent platform" to build from.
Searle is a former assistant head coach at Czech club Banik Ostrava and has worked at Waterford, Witham Town and Aldershot after receiving a degree in football management from Liverpool University.
Kutrieb was sacked on January 29 after a run of two wins in nine league games had left The Fleet in the relegation zone.
The club statement added: "The Uefa pro-licensed coach is fully up to speed with the Fleet squad and has already made great strides at the Kuflink Stadium as the team head into the final third of the league season".
Ebbsfleet are currently 23rd in the National League table, five points above bottom-placed Oxford City.
