""He understands every aspect of the club," Walsh added. "He knows how to get promoted out of League Two and he is absolutely committed to the academy and the model of developing young players which has been so successful for us in recent years." A former Exeter City captain, Taylor helped them win back-to-back promotions on the field from what is now the National League to League One between 2008 and 2009 - scoring 20 goals in 162 appearances between 2007 and 2011."
Matt Taylor has been appointed permanent manager of Exeter City after serving as interim manager since March. Gary Caldwell left for Wigan Athletic, and Taylor returned to lead the club for a second spell. Taylor previously succeeded Paul Tisdale in 2018, guided Exeter to promotion from League Two in 2022, then moved to Rotherham United and later Bristol Rovers. Exeter were relegated from League One on the final day of the season. The club considered multiple candidates and decided on Taylor, who will work with the existing coaching team, including assistant manager Kevin Nicholson and Dan Green. Taylor emphasized the need for work on and off the pitch and the importance of relying on young players through the academy. Chairman Wilf Walsh cited Taylor’s understanding of the supporter-owned model and his commitment to developing young players.
