Barnet have turned to a familiar face to try and lead them back into the EFL at the first attempt after re-appointing John Still as manager.

The highly experienced 68-year-old, who resigned as Dagenham & Redbridge boss yesterday, has signed a two-year deal with the club he first joined in 1997 and guided into the Division Three play-offs on two occasions.

Chairman Tony Kleanthous told the Bees website: "After the debacle of last season, I decided that we needed someone who would bring stability and experience to the football management side of the club.

"The more we researched who would be the best candidate, the more the same name kept coming back.

"John knows the division better than any other manager and has won promotion from this division more times than any other manager.

"His remit is to run the football side from top to bottom and I am pleased to welcome him here and to once again work with him."

Still, who has won promotion to the Football League three times with the Daggers, Maidstone and Luton Town, has returned to the Bees after Martin Allen’s fifth spell at the helm ended last week after being unable to prevent relegation to the National League.
