Robinson heads to east Staffordshire following a two-year stint as manager of Chelsea's Under-21 side, where he guided the young Blues to third and fourth place finishes in Premier League 2.

His appointment coincides with the club's takeover by Nordic Football Group, who have purchased a majority stake from long-serving chairman Ben Robinson.

The consortium have promised significant investment into the club's infrastructure and while they're not expected to throw multi-millions into the recruitment department, finances will be made available to bolster a squad that finished just two points above the drop zone last term.

Robinson's track record of developing players fit perfectly with the vision of the new owners and they will look to enhance the club's prospects through a sustainable strategy of player trading and development.

He spent 18 years with AFC Wimbledon and played a pivotal role in the structure of the club's academy, with a plethora of players making the transition from youth team to first team.

Robinson's time with the Dons culminated in a 14 month stint as head coach and despite a bright start with one of the youngest squads in the Football League, injuries were a detriment to results and the 57-year-old left his role in March 2022 before joining Chelsea.

In a highly-competitive League One, the Brewers are priced at 18/1 to win promotion back to the Championship for the first time since 2018. For those anticipating a miraculous tale at the Pirelli Stadium, Burton can be backed at 33/1 to finish in the top two.
