The 2023–24 season is the 135th season in the history of Forest Green Rovers and their first season back in League Two since the 2021–22 season following their relegation from League One in the previous season. The club are participating in League Two, the FA Cup, the EFL Cup, and the 2023–24 EFL Trophy.
Managerial changes
On 5 July, Hannah Dingley became the first woman to manage a professional men's team in England when appointed as caretaker interim head coach.[2] Less than two weeks later, she was replaced by David Horseman, who was appointed.[3] After a disappointing start to the season left them at the bottom of the table, Horseman left the club by mutual consent on 20 December. Player-coach Troy Deeney was named as Horseman's replacement.[4]
