York City boss Russ Wilcox was celebrating his first win in charge following a well-earned 1-0 victory at Cheltenham Town.
The Minstermen triumphed courtesy of on loan Diego De Girolamo's third goal in four games as their defence remained firm in the face of considerable second-half pressure.
"It's important as a new manager to get off the mark. We were so close at Morecambe the other Tuesday so to see this one out is very pleasing," Wilcox told BBC Radio York. "It was certainly a game of two halves, similar to most games I've been involved in at York.
"We dominated the first half and could have been out of sight," he added. "We had that little bit of luck today we've not had in previous games."
Italian Under-20 international De Girolamo appears set to remain at Bootham Crescent for the foreseeable future, with Sheffield United manager Nigel Clough prepared to extend his current loan agreement - and allow his involvement in the FA Cup next week.
But fellow striker Ryan Brunt is returning to Conference Premier side Bristol Rovers having completed his own loan spell.
