It's a long way from the cover of FIFA 2003 but a great coup for Barnet who are bottom of League 2 with only 3 points after 11 games. Davids becomes joint head coach with Mark Robson and has also expressed his intent to continue his playing career at Barnet.
From the Barnet FC website:
Davids will become joint Head Coach and will form an equal partnership alongside Mark Robson who tonight said "I am delighted to welcome Edgar to our club. His experience as a player throughout his illustrious career will be a massive benefit to all our players and I look forward to forming a strong partnership with him".
Davids has also expressed a serious intent to become a member of the playing squad and is eager to make his debut for the Bee's in the next couple of weeks. He will be joining the staff and be involved with team training on Friday when he will be introduced to the squad.
