Matt Taylor: Exeter boss leaves to become Rotherham's new manager

Last updated on.From the sectionRotherhamcomments43

Matt Taylor watches Exeter from the touchline this season
Former captain Matt Taylor guided Exeter to promotion from League Two last season

Rotherham United have named Exeter City boss Matt Taylor as their new manager.

Taylor was approached last week about the vacancy at the Championship club following thedeparture of Paul Warne to take over at Derby County.

The 40-year-old, who led Exeter to promotion from League Two last season, has signed a deal until 2026.

His assistant manager at Exeter, Wayne Carlisle, joins him in South Yorkshire and the pair will take charge for Wednesday's home game against Millwall.

Exeter said the clubs had "reached an agreement on a suitable compensation sum" and coaches Kevin Nicholson and Jon Hill would be taking over the first team while they searched for a new manager.

A former player at St James Park, Taylor took over at the Grecians in June 2018 when long-serving Paul Tisdale left.

As a player, he captained Exeter to promotion from non-league to League One, while he also enjoyed spells at Charlton Athletic and Cheltenham Town before returning to Devon to begin his coaching career.

"Taylor has been identified as the young, ambitious and intelligent manager that the Millers' board were looking for and not only does he boast those credentials, he also has form for following a long-term occupant of a managerial post," a Rotherham statement said.

The Millers are 12th in the Championship with three wins so far this season.

Analysis

Brent Pilnick, BBC Sport

Rotherham have finally got their man - one of League One's most highly regarded young managers.

At Exeter Taylor has played an attractive brand of passing football based on three central defenders, attacking wing-backs and two strikers.

He has also been instrumental in bringing through young talent such as Josh Key, Cheick Diabate and Matt Jay, as well as taking unheralded players like Tim Dieng and Jevani Brown and turning them into key contributors.

Exeter must now look for a new boss who is happy to work with the club's Trust ownership model and be happy to blood the club's academy players into the first team.

    There should be a window for managers just like there are for players. This is so disruptive nearly a quarter through the season. Signings and pattern of play have been set. Now we need a new manager and so the chain continues..... UTC

    Let's see some of these English managers climb the ladder and start to be looked at for bigger jobs.

    His work at City speaks for itself - a pity we have lost him so early in his spell - but his decision to leave speaks volumes for his ambition and confidence.

    Let's hope he's career doesn't go the same as Paul Tisdale. Both are great managers but sometimes the grass isn't always greener. Exeter might be a small club but it's knows how to operate as a football club should operate, no overspending or knee jerk decisions when things are going too well. Look how long Tisdale lasted for and I'm sure Taylor could have been there a long time if he wanted too.

    Welcome to the Millers Matt and Wayne. Looking forward to seeing your careers enjoy further success. UTM.

    As sad as I am to see MT go, I wish him every success at Rotherham: they have seriously good manager. MT should always be welcome back at SJP, as should Tis, given their contributions to the success of the club UTC and UTM

    An enterprising appointment by a club punching way above their weight. All the best to Taylor and team.

    Good luck Matt. 4 points from both play offs and drop zone. Be interesting to see which way The Millers go.

    Why would you move from beautiful Devon to there?

    Matt Taylor at Exeter wasn't on my radar but reading what has been said he certainly has the credentials and the potential to do well with the Millers - for this season that would be staying up! Welcome Matt to you and your coaching staff.

    The Millers under Warne played 3 at the back with attacking Wing backs so he should settle in rather quickly with the quality squad he's now inherited - Just need to fend off Derby and Warne's bids in the January window for the likes of Barlaser, Wiles and Ogbene otherwise it could become a bit of a struggle to stay up 🤔

    Great appointment - glad we haven’t recalled Agent Moore from South Barnsley just yet. UTM

    Only a matter of time I'm afraid. Good luck Matt
