Hill takes managers job

[COYG]

League Two strugglers Rochdale have appointed Keith Hill as their manager until the end of the season.

Hill, 37, had been caretaker since Steve Parkin left the club on December 16th and guided them to successive 4-0 wins over Boston and Grimsby in the space of three days over the new year.

Hill, who played more than 150 games for Dale between 1996 and 2001, will take charge for the first time as manager at Wycombe on Saturday with his side in 19th place in the table, just a point above the relegation zone.
