"I am delighted to be appointed as manager of Stenhousemuir Football Club,” Naysmith said speaking to Warriors TV. “It’s great to be back in football and at such a progressive club with a great structure behind the scenes. Brown Ferguson will join me as assistant, he knows the club well having been here as a player and manager and we’re looking forward to the challenge ahead.”
Naysmith has been out of the game since March after being sacked by Edinburgh, who were in League 2 at the time.
