Stevenage have announced the appointment of Dino Maamria as the club's new manager.

The Tunisian has moved from Nuneaton Town to Broadhall Way after speaking to the Boro on Monday.

Maamria already has history with the League Two club, having played for the team and been assistant coach across numerous spells.

After the appointment was made, Stevenage chairman Phil Wallace told the club's official website: "Obviously Dino is well known to us, having worked here as a player, coach and assistant manager over the years.

"I have always loved his passion for the club, our fans and for winning football matches. The Nuneaton chairman was outstanding in the way he handled our interest but he was desperately sad to see Dino leave after the difference he had made to their results.

"We had a lot of applications for the job yesterday but we needed to bring Dino back home and we wanted him in charge for the home game against Colchester on Saturday. I hope our fans will turn out in force to welcome him back."

Stevenage currently sit 16th in the league table following a run of just one win in their last eight matches.
