"When Steve Evans got the call from the Bristol Rovers' hierarchy to be their new head coach, he had one condition - he needed a hotel to stay in with a swimming pool. Far from demanding the height of luxury because he could, a pool means that Evans can keep up his routine of swimming 70 to 80 lengths every day."
""One of my insistences in the short term when I came to Bristol was they had found me a hotel to stay in until I find an apartment, I insisted a hotel with a swimming pool," Evans told BBC Radio Bristol. "They thought that was quite posh but it's not posh, it just allows me to do my work in the morning at six before I come in.""
"Having gone from club to club during the four decades of his career in football, after leaving the Millers in March, Evans paused before taking another job to work on his health following a conversation with a doctor. "[I am] feeling absolutely incredible," Evans added. "It's been a big journey. "A contribution of static biking, walking the dogs at home and swimming so that journey must continue because I want to see my four-and-a-half-year-old grandson when he's 21.""
Steve Evans lost eight-and-a-half stone over eight-and-a-half months by transforming his fitness with a specialist team, daily swimming and cycling, walking his dogs and dieting. He swims 70 to 80 lengths every day and spends time on a static bike alongside other activity. After leaving Rotherham United he paused to focus on health before accepting a new managerial post. He insisted on staying in a hotel with a swimming pool to continue his early-morning routine. Evans describes feeling 'absolutely incredible' and aims to prolong the journey to watch his four-and-a-half-year-old grandson grow to adulthood.
