NEWPORT County AFC will be reunited with Dino Maamria next month after the Tunisian was appointed as the new manager at League Two rivals Stevenage.
Maamria was assistant to Graham Westley at County last season before moving on to take charge at National League North outfit Nuneaton Borough.
He was previously a player, coach and assistant manager at Stevenage and has now landed the top job at the Lamex Stadium.

Stevenage chairman Phil Wallace said: “Dino is well known to us, having worked here as a player, coach and assistant manager over the years.
“I have always loved his passion for the club, our fans and for winning football matches.
“The Nuneaton chairman was outstanding in the way he handled our interest but he was desperately sad to see Dino leave after the difference he had made to their results.
“We had a lot of applications for the job but we needed to bring Dino back home and we wanted him in charge for the home game against Colchester on Saturday. I hope our fans will turn out in force to welcome him back.”
Maamria will bring his Boro side to Rodney Parade on Saturday, April 7.
