Staunton has been given the job until the end of the season, with former England midfielder Kevin Richardson joining as his assistant. Richardson of course played alongside 'Stan' at Aston Villa, where they were both captains.
Now 40-years-old, he was dismissed as Republic of Ireland manager two years ago after a turbulent 21 months in charge, subsequently he became assistant manager at Leeds in February 2008, but left the club 10 months later when manager Gary McAllister left his position.
He was linked to the Rotherham position but now has to look at bringing survival to the League Two basement club.

Darlington have not won a league game this season and have only 2 draws to show for their efforts in 11 games. It will be a massive task for Staunton with the club already 8 points from 22nd placed Grimsby, who they managed to get a point off when the two sides met a week ago
