Kevin Betsy gesticulates to his players
Kevin Betsy made almost 600 appearances during his playing career

Kevin Betsy has been named the new manager of Crawley Town.

Betsy was the coach of England age group sides up to under-18s.

He was the manager of the academy side that finished third in the 2nd season of the league.

Dan Micciche will leave his position as head coach of the under-18s to become Betsy's assistant.

Two months ago, Crawley were taken over by WAGMI United, led by co- founders.

They became involved in the Yems case after the club said there were serious and credible accusations made by players. Yems didn't say anything on the matter.

Betsy said that he was joining a club that had a great history and was looking at an exciting new beginning.

I was very impressed with the vision of the two men. I knew I would be working for bright and genuine people that share the same enthusiasm and desire to take this club forward.

Betsy began and ended his playing career at Woking and went on to play for a number of teams.

Lewis Young was an assistant to Yems and had been in interim charge since his departure.

Kevin and Dan have done a great job of managing and developing our Under-23s and Under-18s.

They're heading into first-team management because of their coaching ability. This is a good chance for them.
