Blackburn have confirmed former defender Henning Berg as their new manager.
Berg won the Premier League title as a player with Rovers in 1995 and the 43-year-old will succeed Steve Kean, who resigned to end a troubled spell as manager of the npower Championship side a month ago.
Amid heavy speculation late on Wednesday afternoon, Rovers issued a press release stating they would unveil their new manager at Ewood Park on Thursday morning before confirming Berg as the man in question. A statement on the club's official Twitter page read: "Blackburn can confirm that Henning Berg has accepted the role of manager."
Berg, who made 297 appearances across two spells as a player with Rovers, will take on his first coaching assignment in English football following spells leading Lyn Oslo and Lillestrom in his native Norway.
Rovers managing director Derek Shaw told Press Association Sport that the former Norway defender became the board's number one choice on the back of an impressive interview.
"He interviewed well and he moved straight to the top of our list," said the ex-Preston chairman.
