Alan Knill has left his post as manager of Bury to take over as the new boss of Scunthorpe United.

The Iron have been searching for a new man at the helm following their decision to axe Ian Baraclough earlier in March after just six months in charge.

Bury confirmed on Thursday that they had received an official approach for Knill’s services, although they did not identify the interested club, with the Shakers boss having spent four years of his playing career with Scunthorpe.

And the League Two promotion hopefuls have now confirmed that Knill, who has been in charge at Gigg Lane since February 2008, is bound for the Championship side, along with his backroom team.

Compensation

A statement on Bury’s official website read: “It is with deep regret that we announce Alan Knill is no longer manager of Bury Football Club.

“The club have reluctantly agreed a compensation package with Scunthorpe United for Alan to take over the manager’s role with immediate effect.

“Assistant manager Chris Brass and goalie coach Neil Cutler have also left the club.”

Knill leaves Bury with the club firmly in the race for promotion to League One and he will take charge of a Scunthorpe outfit battling to beat the drop in the Championship.
