Dino Maamria has been appointed as the new head coach of Barrow, succeeding Paul Gallagher. Gallagher, who had been in charge since January 2, failed to win any of his five matches.
Transition at Barrow
Assistant coach John Welsh has also departed from the club. Barrow currently sits third from the bottom in League Two. They are just three points above the relegation zone after a disappointing run, having lost six consecutive matches and eight out of their last nine.

Maamria, who hails from Tunisia, brings a wealth of experience to Barrow. He has previously managed several clubs, including:
