Ashvir Singh Johal, a Sikh, makes history as the first Sikh manager of a British professional football club after being appointed as Morecambe manager. At 30 years old, he is also the youngest manager across the top five tiers of English football. Following the club's takeover by the Panjab Warriors consortium, Johal steps into the role previously held by Derek Adams, who was removed from the position on Monday.
