Kevin Keen has been un-veiled as the new manager of Colchester United.
The former West Ham caretaker boss who replaced Tony Humes, told BBC Essex: "The club, chairman and the philosophy is very much aligned to the way I think about how football clubs should be run.
"They want to bring through young players and I believe I am the right fit for the club at the moment to help those young players develop but also have the first team experience to make sure that the first team are winning matches.
"I am hoping that the way I want to work on the training ground and how I talk to people that there will be a response.
"It might not be immediately but I think over time this squad will come together and I hope over the remaining games that we can make sure Colchester United come out of the relegation zone."
