Steve Evans: Gillingham name former Leeds and Peterborough boss as new managerEvans, who guided Rotherham to successive promotions from League Two to the Championship in 2013 and 2014, has had a colourful career in management.
While he has enjoyed success - earning promotions with Boston, Crawley and the Millers - there have been off-the-field issues from stadium bans to charges for improper conduct.
However, the Scot has the backing of his new employer.
"Steve is no fool, and neither am I to be fair," Scally continued. "He is aware of comments against him from some supporters, about his reputation, about what people are saying about his past, but I would never entertain the prospect of bringing in a manager whom I thought was wrong for the club.
"Although no manager comes with guarantees I can categorically say that Steve Evans is by far the best candidate for the role I have seen, and I intend to appoint him as club manager, he will commence his role on 1 June."
