    Everton hero Duncan Ferguson is set to land a new job in management \u2013 despite his disastrous spell at Forest Green.<\/p>\n

    The former Newcastle and Rangers striker was appointed by the eco club last season and was charged with keeping them in League One following a wretched start to the season. However, Ferguson managed just one win in 18 games as Forest Green crashed out of the third tier.<\/p>\n

    Ferguson looked set to remain in charge for their League Two campaign, only to leave the club in July at the start of pre-season training. He was initially replaced by Hannah Dingley, the club\u2019s academy chief, on an interim basis before David Horseman was appointed permanently.<\/p>\n

    Ferguson has now returned to work north of the border with Inverness Caledonian Thistle, who are rock-bottom of the Scottish Championship with one point from six games. Ferguson, who is set to be unveiled today (Tuesday), replaces the sacked Billy Dodds.<\/p>\n

    Addressing Ferguson\u2019s Forest Green departure, chairman Dale Vince said at the time: "It\u2019d been a privilege to work with Dunc these last few months and this was a very difficult decision to make. I\u2019m grateful to Dunc for joining us in such difficult circumstances and for all of his hard work at the club. <\/p>\n

    "But I feel this is overall the right decision for everyone and I wish Dunc well in his next coaching role. We are parting as friends. You can\u2019t ask for much more than that."<\/p>\n

    Forest Green have done little better in Ferguson\u2019s absence though. They sit third-bottom of the fourth tier with seven points from their first nine games.<\/p>\n
