Bristol Rovers have announced the appointment of Steve Evans as their new manager, aiming to improve the team’s disappointing performance in League Two. This decision comes after the club parted ways with Darrell Clarke following a 30 defeat against Swindon, marking their tenth consecutive loss and pushing them into the relegation zone.
