Exclusive: Chesterfield consider Jack Lester appointment

Chesterfield's Jack Lester

Chesterfield are ready to make a move for legendary striker Jack Lester as they look to find their new boss, TEAMtalk understands.

The Spireites sit second from bottom of League Two after a dismal start to the new season, and defeat to Accrington Stanley at the weekend was the last for Gary Caldwell’s tenure as he was sacked.

Now Chesterfield are looking to move forward and Lester is a man very high on their wanted list.

As well as being a club legend having spent six seasons with the club, playing over 200 games and scoring over 90 goals – he is now a highly-rated coach with Nottingham Forest’s academy.

Lester is now seen as an ideal candidate to take Chesterfield forward and they could make an approach in the coming days.
