“From my discussions with the club, I can sense the ambition and desire for success, which gives me great excitement about this opportunity,” Ramsey reported.
“This is a moment I have been preparing for over many years. I’ve played under some of the best managers in the game and experienced high-pressure environments throughout my career.
“I want to use what I’ve learned to bring a culture of high standards, professionalism and work ethic to this talented group of players.
“My teams will play with a clear identity, be built on elite habits, with a commitment to improving every day.
“I want a squad that fights for the badge until the end, and one that makes our supporters proud.”
