Grant McCann recently took charge of his 250th match across two spells with Doncaster Rovers, making him one of the club’s longest serving managers in the modern era alongside Sean O’Driscoll and Dave Penney.
McCann first took charge of Rovers in the 2018/19 campaign, leading the team to a sixth place finish and a play-off semi-final in League One before departing for Hull City.
He returned four years later in 2023, inheriting a team that had finished 18th in League Two just a season before his arrival.
McCann oversaw a lot of change at the club in the three and half years since his return, with the club climbing from the fourth tier back into League One after being crowned champions in 2025.
