New Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton gave his first press conference on Monday, telling the press of his delight at managing the oldest Football League club in the world and reassuring fans with the fact that he has plenty of coaching experience.
The former Nottingham Forest development coach was appointed as Ricardo Moniz's successor on Sunday, having beaten the likes of Mark Cooper and John Sheridan to the post.
Fullarton, who also took his first training session on Monday, said: "It's an opportunity, a club laced with tradition, history and has a standing in league football.
It's the oldest football club in the world, and behind the scenes, the infrastructure, plan and vision, which sometimes doesn't get seen by everyone, excited me. It dovetailed with what I see which is a genuine opportunity to be successful in what is my first job.
"Although it's my first managerial job, I've been coaching for 11 years. I've been developing, evolving and your first job is an important one because if you don't do well or get it right, you might not get a second.
"It was a big decision, but it's not a gamble, it's an opportunity, a genuine opportunity to be successful."
Fullarton’s first Notts game will be at Crawley Town this Saturday.
