Gusterson, 20, has been at Dereham for nearly two years after being released by the Canaries and now takes over from Rob Taylor, the man who first brought him to Dereham. Taylor was sacked on Monday after the club decided it needed a change of direction. Gusterson, who was the second youngest player to appear for Norwich`s reserves, has become a key part of the Magpies' 1st team. He will continue playing and as skipper, stressing he was only taking on the management role initially until the end of the campaign. Being captain I have really enjoyed the responsibility and it was a nice thing to have that confidence in me at that time. Gusterson, works as a coach for Norwich City`s Football in the Community, said playing was his number one priority but was willing to help the club by taking over as caretaker manager. I hope I am respected by the players and I want them all to enjoy playing football. I don't see this as a long term measure but the chairman asked me if I would step in for the moment. Gusterson said he didn't know all the ins and outs surrounding Taylor's sacking, but he wanted to thank the ex-boss for giving him the chance at Dereham. What has happened has happened. But when I was released from Norwich Rob took me to Dereham and I will forever appreciate that. He has done a great job. Gusterson's first game in charge will be Saturday's home game against Newmarket. The club is expected to announce an assistant in the next few of days. Dereham chairman Simon Barnes said: Gus has got his coaching badges and has a good knowledge of the game. The boys respect him which is a big part of the job. He has been appointed until the end of the season and we will then look at the situation for both parties. If he has done a good job, and I am sure he will, he will be in the hot-seat.
