Report: Burton Albion to confirm Nigel Clough appointment on Monday

Burton Albion will reportedly confirm the appointment of Nigel Clough as their new manager on Monday.

Clough managed Burton for over 10 years before leaving the club to join Derby County in 2009, but he was immediately linked with a return to the club after Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink made the switch to Queens Park Rangers last week.

According to Sky Sports News, the League One leaders are ready to unveil Clough tomorrow after agreeing a deal with the 49-year-old over the weekend.

The former Derby and Nottingham Forest boss has been out of work since parting company with Sheffield United in May, and he will take charge of his first game against Gillingham on Saturday.
