The reign of European football's longest-serving manager has come to an end after 29 years.

Ronnie McFall, 69, was set to leave Portadown at the end of the season but resigned after his side's shock Irish Cup defeat by Lurgan Celtic.
He was appointed in December 1986 - six weeks after Sir Alex Ferguson joined Manchester United.
McFall won four league titles among more than 20 trophies during his time in charge at his hometown club.
He became the manager with the longest tenure in Europe after Ferguson left Old Trafford in 2013. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has now taken the record.
McFall led Portadown to their first ever league title in 1990, with further successes coming in 1991, 1996 and 2002.
McFall's assistant Kieran Harding is also leaving the club after a difficult campaign which has seen the Ports slip to seventh in the league table.
It led to the club announcing in November that it was initiating a process to find a successor to McFall.
Portadown confirmed McFall's resignation and said its board would meet early next week "to discuss developments".


Sean O'Brien refuses to accept that a reckless desire to take ball into contact has led to Ireland's injury crisis in this year's Six Nations.

The Irish campaign has been afflicted by injuries but O'Brien believes bad luck and not bad tactics has been the problem for Declan Kidney's side.
"When we won the Grand Slam in 2009, no-one got injured, so what's the difference?" said the Carlow man.
"They were as committed back then as they are now."
Brian O'Driscoll (concussion/dead leg), Luke Marshall (concussion) and Donnacha Ryan (shoulder) are Ireland's latest injury concerns ahead of Saturday's concluding clash against Italy in Rome with Declan Kidney set to announce his line-up on Thursday.
Fergus McFadden (rib damage) and Eoin Reddan (broken leg) will miss the game after sustaining injuries in last weekend's draw against France.

Regular starters Paul O'Connell, Tommy Bowe and Stephen Ferris were ruled out for the entire campaign before the start of the tournament along with Leinster hooker Richardt Strauss.
And an exceptionally attritional season has also seen Simon Zebo, Gordon D'Arcy, Chris Henry, Craig Gilroy and Jonathan Sexton sustaining injuries while Cian Healy was suspended for the defeat in Scotland.
In addition, back-up players such as Darren Cave, Paddy Wallace and Dave McSharry have also been unavailable for much of the campaign.
Some pundits have suggested that a willingness to stand toe to toe with opponents has proved Ireland's undoing while there is also a theory abroad that the simple matter of genetics is hampering Declan Kidney's squad.
However, O'Brien is not convinced by either of those arguments.
"I'm not sure that the size disadvantage is hampering our performances," the Leinster flanker said.
"You could go back and look at the whole championship - our discipline let us down in one game and we weren't patient enough in another.
We don't want to be thinking about wooden spoons
"We're matching teams physically, but obviously with our genetics, we're not a big race.
"If you compare us to Argentina or South Africa, they're just big men naturally and when they start to lift weights and whatnot they get bigger.
"(But) I don't think it has hampered us.
"Sometimes you just get unlucky with injuries, get a run of injuries, and that leads on to different things, but I still think we're able to mix it with the best of them."
Italy's impressive display in Sunday's 18-11 defeat by England at Twickenham suggests that the Irish will face a difficult task to maintain their record of never having lost to the Azzurri in the Six Nations.
O'Brien is expecting a "massive physical challenge" against the Italians in a game where defeat could see the Irish landing the Wooden Spoon.
"(Sergio) Parisse is one of the best players in the world, he has an all-round game," added O'Brien.
"He's good in the air, he's good at carrying, good defensively and is able to poach. He's an all-round back row and is a go-to man for Italy."
However, O'Brien insists that the possibility of a first Wooden Spoon since 1998 has not been a topic in the Irish camp this week.
"We don't want to be thinking about Wooden Spoons. It'll be the same as last week. I said then that we didn't have the option to lose. That didn't happen
"Training has been sharp, it was last week too. If we can take that confidence and build on it we should be okay."


Thai Airways has posted a profit in the three months to December, reversing its fortunes from the same period a year ago and softening its full-year losses.

Quarterly net profit came to 5.1bn Thai baht ($141.7m) compared to a 6.4bn baht loss a year earlier, officials confirmed with the BBC.
Full year net loss was 13.05bn baht compared to 15.57bn a year ago.
The national carrier has been struggling amid an increasingly competitive regional marketplace.
The carrier, which is 51% government owned, has been committed to turnaround plans, which have been in place for about 12 months.
Its operating losses for the full year were substantially reduced, which the carrier said was due in part to a 20% decrease in fuel expenses.
On Monday, Thai Airways said that the world's aviation industry had continued to face several headwinds in 2015 including "from economic and political uncertainty [and] the global economic recession".
It noted China's slowdown, "a heavy expansion" of low-cost airlines, and exchange rate fluctuations as some of the reasons for the industry's struggles.
Thai Airways' so-called transformation plan was introduced in January last year and was designed to "stop the bleeding", the firm said on Monday.
Over the last year, the carrier has reduced the number of flights it operates and cut unprofitable routes, amid other cost saving measures. The firm said it would also focus on voluntary retirements this year.
It decommissioned several planes in 2015 and received eight new ones, bringing its fleet size to 95 aircraft, down from 102 a year earlier.
On Monday, Thai Airways also addressed concerns over its international flight safety reputation and said it had not been affected by recent downgrades for Thailand's aviation industry.
In December last year, the US downgraded its safety rating of Thailand's aviation authority following earlier findings by the United Nation's International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) found that Thailand did not comply with ICAO's safety standards.
At the time, aviation experts said the national flag-carrier's code share agreements in the US could be hurt, however, the airline said it had not been affected by the downgrade.
Thai Airways also said the European Commission had not recently added any Thai airlines to its air safety blacklist.
The national flag carrier added that it had recently passed the safety standards audit by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).


Celtic central defender Jason Denayer has been voted Scottish Professional Football League young player of the month for March.

The 19-year-old Manchester City loanee scored in emphatic wins over Dundee United and Aberdeen.
Celtic defeated United twice more to win the League Cup and advance to the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup.
Denayer, who recently won his first cap for Belgium, joined Celtic in August and has scored five times in 22 games.
It had already been announced that Ross County midfielder Raffaele de Vita had been voted player of the month for all four divisions.
County's Jim McIntyre was named Premiership manager of the month, Hearts' Robbie Neilson won the Championship award, while Forfar Athletic's Dick Campbell was top boss in League One and East Stirlingshire's Craig Tully got most votes in League Two.
The SPFL's monthly awards are held in conjunction with the Scottish Football Writers' Association, with winners voted for by members of the Scottish media.


Former England manager Fabio Capello is the latest high-profile coach to move to the Chinese Super League, signing a contract with Jiangsu Suning.

The 70-year-old, who led England for four years before resigning in 2012, joins former Premier League managers Luis Felipe Scolari, Andre Villas-Boas, Gus Poyet and Felix Magath in China.
Former Chelsea manager Scolari coaches current champions Guangzhou Evergrande.
Capello's fellow Italian Marcello Lippi is in charge of China's national team.
A Jiangsu statement confirmed: "We have signed a working contract with Mr Fabio Capello. He will be the head coach. Welcome Fabio!"
Capello made his name at AC Milan in the 1990s, winning four Serie A titles and the Champions League. He went on to win two La Liga titles in separate spells with Real Madrid and another Italian league crown with Roma.
He also won Serie A twice with Juventus but both were revoked and they were demoted to the second division for their involvement in Italy's match-fixing scandal.
England reached the last 16 of the 2010 World Cup under Capello, losing to Germany, and he resigned two years later after a disagreement over the stripping of the captaincy from John Terry.
He went on to spend three years as Russia coach before being sacked.


A debt-ridden NHS trust in Somerset could be in breach of its licence to provide services, prompting the health regulator to "step in".

Taunton's Musgrove Park Hospital is facing an £8.3m shortfall and Monitor said action was needed to get the hospital finances back on track.
Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust "lacks robust plans to tackle the deterioration", it said.
The trust said it was working to make services as efficient as possible.
The action requested by Monitor includes appointing a director to "support and challenge the trust as it makes the required improvements" and putting in measures to recover the finances.
Paul Streat, regional director at Monitor, said: "We're concerned that the trust is losing money and hasn't yet developed the right plans to tackle its financial problems.
"These problems are fairly recent. We are stepping in early to ensure that the trust can quickly get its finances back on track."
The trust responded saying it had seen unprecedented and unsustainable demand on its services and it welcomed the appointment of a further director.
Dr Sam Barrell, chief executive, said: "We are rising to the challenge by looking at our services across the hospital to make sure they are as efficient as possible.
"We know that when we put the patient first and really scrutinise our processes, efficiencies follow.


A number of vehicles have been stolen in a spate of break-ins at homes in the Scottish Borders.

Five homes in Glen Crescent and Bonnington Road in Peebles and properties in the Bellfield area of Eddleston were targeted.
A Ford Transit van, grey Audi A6, off-road motorbike and other items were taken between 21:00 on Tuesday and 06:00 on Wednesday.
Police said inquiries were continuing to see if the crimes were linked.
PC Ian Knipe said: "All of the victims are understandably upset following the break-ins to their properties and the theft of their various items and vehicles.
"Anyone who remembers seeing any suspicious activity around the affected streets on Tuesday or Wednesday is asked to contact police immediately.
"In addition, anyone who can help us identify and trace those responsible, should also get in touch."


The body of Rwanda's last king, Kigeli V, has been flown back to Kigali after a legal battle among his relatives about where he should be buried.

King Kigeli died last October, aged 80, in the United States, where he had been living since 1992.
The former monarch had reportedly not wanted to be buried in Rwanda as long as the current government was in power.
However, a US court ruled in favour of relatives in Rwanda who wanted his body returned there to be laid to rest.
Africa Live: Updates on this and other news
"We are very happy to have him back in his country of birth," said James Vuningoma, executive secretary of the Rwanda Academy of Language and Culture (RALC), who was at Kigali airport when the king's remains arrived.
A number of relatives, including King Kigeli's half-sister, were also there.
Earlier, the king's Royal Council had said Kigeli had not wanted to be buried in Rwanda "as long as the current government administration that was hostile to his majesty in life was still in power".
Born Jean-Baptiste Ndahindurwa, Kigeli ascended to the throne in 1959 but ruled for less than a year before being forced into exile.
Rwanda abolished the monarchy in 1961.
King Kigeli lived in several other African countries before eventually settling in the US where he set up a charity helping Rwandan refugees and orphans.
A 2013 profile in Washingtonian magazine found him living off food stamps in subsidised housing.
King Kigeli was the last in a line of monarchs from the minority Tutsi ethnic group, which had dominated Rwanda for many years, but the Belgian former colonial power favoured the majority Hutus and backed a coup.
When Rwanda was proclaimed a republic, a Hutu, Dominique Mbonyumutwa, was made president.
Tens of thousands of Tutsis went into exile after King Kigeli and for three decades the country endured ethnic violence.
It culminated in the 1994 genocide, in which some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed by Hutu extremists.
Current President Paul Kagame came to power at the end of the killings, as the head of a Tutsi rebel group.
King Kigeli held onto the hope that he could return to the throne in Rwanda, at the head of a constitutional monarchy.
A small opposition party argued that the king could be a force of unity in a country still torn by the legacy of the genocide.
But the government was willing to let him return only as a private citizen.


As China gears up for a grand commemoration of the 70th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War Two, hundreds of never-before-seen historic photos have surfaced, shedding new light on a part of history that once scarred the country.

Unlike most widely circulated war documents in China that captured gory beheadings and mass graves, these photos offer a human touch, and a less known side of history - they came from private photo albums previously owned by Japanese soldiers who fought in the Sino-Japanese War, known in China as the Anti-Japanese War.
Zou Dehuai, a 25-year-old Chinese man who has travelled to Japan a few times, bought the albums on eBay and from dozens of flea markets and second-hand book stores with the help of Chinese friends based in Japan.
"I now have about 20 albums of more than 3,000 photos on war," he said.
"For many people, these albums are meaningless because most of them are just family or group photos. But after I studied more details, I realised some of them carry great significance."
Mr Zou said he has about a dozen Chinese friends in Japan who look out for these albums. Most are from his hometown, Qingdao, a coastal city in China that was once under Japan's occupation and only a short distance from Japan.
Mr Zou paid between a few hundred and several thousand Chinese yuan for each album.
New ones appear for sale online constantly but most are lost in the market and no-one bothers to find out what the back stories are.
The more popular and expensive ones are those that show cruel killings, but Mr Zou was more attracted by the subtle ones that dig deeper into people's lives.
One of his favourite albums may have come, he thinks, from a Japanese journalist who travelled with the army to China.
The absence of a military leader on the first page, the reflection of the photographer's tripod, and a few photos that look like self-portraits make the album stand out among the rest.
Photos in this album show ordinary Chinese girls on the streets of Nanjing, a city occupied by Japan in the war and where massacres killed hundreds of thousands of Chinese.
The girls are captured smiling for the camera in their traditional Chinese cheongsam dresses.
The photographer is seen in another city, Suzhou in southern China, posing by a wall daubed with slogans saying "kill all Japanese bandits who rob and rape".
Another album Mr Zou found very interesting was possibly from a school headmaster, who had photos labelled with three red Japanese characters - "Prohibited".
In one of the photos, the owner of the album sits in the centre of a group photo with students and a man whose robe had a few characters that indicated it was school.
In another, we see photos labelled "Prohibited" showing dead bodies lying on the ground - someone carefully wrote down "Chinese soldiers' bodies".
Mr Zou explained that after the war, Japan tried to clean up all materials that documented what happened, so many photos were labelled with "Prohibited".
It was unclear how the headmaster obtained these photos. He may have never travelled to China, but Mr Zhou says perhaps collecting photos was his way of participating in the "sacred cause" of the war.
Many were beautifully put together. Even though most of their colours have faded, the intricate patterns on some of the book covers still look amazingly fine.
Nobody knows how these albums came to be lying in the corners of second-hand book stores in Japan.
Mr Zou wondered whether maybe for some families, it was a painful memory to put behind them, and for others, perhaps it was a good thing to sell for money during the economic depression after the war.
Sporting a slicked-back hairstyle and a shiny silver stud earring, Mr Zou is obviously no historian. He works as an editor for the history section of a website.
One of his bigger projects is collecting old photos and interviews of survivors of the Khmer Rouge genocide regime in Cambodia, which saw the deaths of around two million people.
For all the albums he collects, Mr Zou says he checks whether the photos are coherent, how frequently each person appears and whether the handwriting matches throughout.
A shoulder badge, a board on the tower house, a street sign - every detail matters.
"It's not hard to determine whether the photos are authentic or not. All the details say something," he said.
"It would be hard to forge this kind of albums, because frankly it would cost a lot of time and money, and it's hardly rewarding."
While Mr Zou plans to keep some of the albums private, he will share most of them or even sell them.
"I collect these albums not to remember hatred, but to avoid repeating the same pain," he emphasised.
"They teach us a lesson: war is cruel and there is no winner."


A UKIP candidate who called for an NHS review to look at compulsory abortion of foetuses with Down's syndrome or spina bifida has been suspended.

The party said Geoffrey Clark, who is standing for Kent County Council, would not be a UKIP councillor if elected.
Mr Clark said on his website he did not endorse the abortion idea but suggested it to cut the national debt.
Learning disability charity Mencap said it was disgusted and horrified at Mr Clark's personal manifesto.
UKIP said Thursday's ballot paper would still list him as its candidate but, pending an investigation, he would not be a UKIP councillor.
Chartered accountant Mr Clark, 66, who is also standing for Meopham North ward on Gravesham Borough Council in Thursday's by-election, says on his website his comments are personal and do not reflect UKIP policy.
He calls for a national debate and an urgent government review of the NHS, which he says "risks becoming unaffordable in the future".
The review should look at "compulsory abortion when the foetus is detected as having Down's, spina bifida or similar syndrome which, if it is born, could render the child a burden on the state as well as on the family".
He says the review should also look at medical treatment for those aged over 80, "which is disproportionately costly to the NHS" and might also include "legalising euthanasia and giving free euthanasia advice to all folk over 80".
He told the BBC: "I don't intend to offend.
"What I am trying to do is to provoke a debate in the nation because I am so disenchanted with our politicians."
Mark Goldring, chief executive of Mencap, said: "Much has been written about the Paralympics this summer changing attitudes towards disabled people for the better.
"Yet in the very same year, a council candidate has proposed forced eugenics against disabled people.
"It is abhorrent that Geoffrey Clark sees disabled people solely as a burden when people with a learning disability lead full lives and make valuable contributions to their communities and families.
"We question if he is fit for public office."
Mr Clark, who describes himself as a member of Meopham Parochial Church Council, Rotary International, the Royal British Legion and the Youth Hostels Association, says population, immigration and threats to the green belt are linked issues close to his heart.
If elected, he promises to promote the Christian ethic and British culture, roll back Islam, contain UK population growth and restrict immigration.
A UKIP spokesman said the party rejected Mr Clark's "abhorrent" views.
"The party was not aware of these views when it allowed him to stand under our name," he said.
"Mr Clark has been formally suspended as a UKIP candidate and will not be standing for the party again.
"We would like to apologise to anyone who has suffered distress as a result of this matter."


Gloucester's New Zealand-born scrum-half Willi Heinz has signed a new, extended contract with the club.

The 29-year-old has made 20 Premiership appearances for the Cherry and Whites.
The former Crusaders player, who moved to Gloucester from the Super Rugby franchise in 2015, joins team-mates Henry Purdy and Billy Burns in agreeing new deals at Gloucester since Tuesday.
"Willi has been a really important part of the squad since his arrival," director of rugby David Humphreys said.
"I'm excited to see what more he has to give."


Police are investigating after copies of the Koran were found in toilets in the student union building of the University of Texas at Dallas.

Photos shared by local media show copies of the Islamic holy book in three toilet bowls.
Campus police say the case is "strange" and "very unusual" due to the religious and ethnic diversity at the school.
Police are trying to identify one of six people seen entering the toilet on the evening of the incident, 28 March.
Investigators have been reviewing security footage to find a suspect.
X-Men artist fired over Koran verse
A reflection room where multi-faith prayer books are kept on the building's ground floor was not touched, according to investigators.
Police Chief Larry Zacharias told the Dallas Morning News: "No one knows who owns the books, so that makes it difficult."
Mohammad Syed, president of the college's Muslim Student Association, told local media the case was "definitely saddening and a little disturbing as well".
"While there is a little voice of hate, there is an overwhelming voice of love and support and we definitely appreciate that," he said.
Why was Koran ripped up at school meeting?
He added that the university is "a very welcoming environment".
The Korans were discovered by members of the student government after an evening meeting.
"I was appalled," said Jonathan Schuler, who found the sacred texts in the toilets.
"It made a lot of the hate I had been hearing and seeing on national news real, and very present."
The student senators have released a statement calling it an isolated incident that does not represent the university community.
'I escaped death by reciting from the Koran'


An agreement has been reached on a pay deal for Scottish council workers.

Local government body Cosla said it welcomed trade unions' acceptance of the 2.5% rise over two years.
Cosla said councils would find it difficult to find the money to fund the increase, but added that local authorities wanted to help their staff.
Billy Hendry, human resources spokesman at Cosla, said the deal would put "much-needed additional money" into the wages of hardworking employees.
He said: "2.5% over two years is difficult for councils in a prolonged period of budget constraints, but we made every effort to show the workforce that they are doing a great job in very difficult times for local government and that we notice and appreciate this.
"Times are set to get even tougher with deeper cuts in public expenditure widely predicted and we will need to work closely with the trade unions to support our workforce and continue to deliver vital services to our communities."


The body of a woman has been found on the Fife coastline during the search for a missing German tourist.

Claudia Philips, 51, was last seen leaving the house in Crail where she was staying at about 13:00 on Tuesday.
No formal identification has taken place yet, however, Ms Philips' family have been informed by police.
The death is currently being treated as unexplained and inquiries are ongoing. Ch Insp Adrian Annandale, of Police Scotland, thanked all who helped.
He  said: "I would firstly like to thank all members of the public who aided our search activities over the past couple of days.
"Special recognition must also go to our various partner agencies, including the Coastguard, for their assistance, as well as the national police resources that supported local officers with their inquiries.
"While no formal identification as taken place, we have liaised with Claudia's loved ones and will continue to provide them with all the necessary support they require at this time."


A house has been badly damaged in Cambridgeshire after being hit by a tractor and trailer.

The crash happened on Sunday at about 09:00 BST on the A1123 in the centre of Wilburton village.
It is believed the tractor was towing a laden muck-spreader when it crashed into the house.
Investigations are continuing into the crash that blocked part of the High Street. In January 2011 a carrot tractor crashed into the house.


Lloyds Banking Group has decided to set up a European base in Germany after the UK leaves the EU, the BBC understands.

Lloyds has decided to convert its Berlin branch into a European hub, in order to maintain a presence inside the EU, sources told the BBC.
Several British financial institutions are putting plans in place to protect their EU operations after Brexit.
With the UK likely to leave the EU single market, they want to make sure they can still cater for EU clients.
Lloyds is the only major British lender that does not currently have a subsidiary in another EU nation.
However, it already has a branch in Berlin and employs 300 people in the city.
Lloyds is believed to have considered both Frankfurt and Amsterdam for its European base before finally opting for Berlin.
The Sunday Telegraph newspaper reported that Lloyds would apply for a new German banking licence within a few months, but the company has refused to comment.
HSBC has already said it is likely to move 1,000 workers from London to its European headquarters in Paris, while the insurance market Lloyds of London recently said it was setting up an office in Brussels.
For many years, British-based financial services companies have been able to operate throughout Europe using so-called passporting rights.
That scheme may end when Britain leaves the EU, with no guarantee that it will be replaced by a similar agreement.
It is that uncertainty that had led many financial companies - and particularly international banks - to make contingency plans that would see them transfer a chunk of their business to an EU member country.
Various studies have suggested tens of thousands of financial jobs could leave the UK after Brexit.
Authorities in Paris, Frankfurt, Luxembourg and Amsterdam have all said they would welcome banks moving operations from London when the UK leaves the EU.
Many in the City of London fear a rival financial centre could emerge if many banks choose the same location, but no single place has yet materialised as a likely winner from Brexit.


Thirty-five former school officials implicated in a test cheating scandal have until Tuesday to surrender to authorities in the US state of Georgia.

The accused in the city of Atlanta face counts of racketeering, making false statements and conspiring to improve test scores to win cash bonuses.
Several of the defendants have already reported to jail in Fulton County.
Former Atlanta School Superintendent Beverly Hall is among those named in the grand jury's indictment.
In 2009, she was named national superintendent of the year by the American Association of School Administrators - the same year much of the alleged cheating is said to have taken place.
According to prosecutors, Ms Hall was given a $78,000 (Â£51,000) bonus from the public school system.
"The money she received, we are alleging, was ill gotten and it was theft," Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard told reporters on Friday, when the grand jury indictment was made public.
By Tuesday morning's deadline, five educators - not including Ms Hall - had turned themselves in, the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper reported. They were being held on bail bonds of up to $1m.
All those identified by the grand jury must surrender, or face arrest at home or at work.
A 65-count indictment alleges a major conspiracy to cheat, conceal cheating or retaliate against whistleblowers, while inflating student test scores.
The defendants include senior administrators, principals, assistant principals, teachers, testing co-ordinators, a school secretary and a school improvement specialist.
Ron Carlson, professor of law emeritus at the University of Georgia, told the Associated Press news agency: "It's the largest school teaching scandal yet recorded in the country."
Each accused is charged under a Georgia state law modelled on a federal statute enacted to target organised crime.


Russian football fan leader Alexander Shprygin has been detained in France, two days after being expelled from the country, French officials say.

He had been put on a flight to Moscow after violence at Russia's Euro 2016 match with England nine days ago.
Having returned to France, Mr Shprygin was arrested in the stadium at Russia's match against Wales in Toulouse.
He is reported to hold far-right views and his All-Russia Supporters' Union is backed by the Kremlin.
Shortly before his latest detention, Mr Shprygin spoke to French news agency AFP by telephone, saying he was at the game in Toulouse.
"I am at the match with a ticket," he told the agency.
"The French authorities told me I was not deported but just expelled, my Schengen visa has not been cancelled and all the stamps are there. So I can legally be in the European Union."
The Russian fan leader also posted photographs of himself on Twitter, apparently standing outside the stadium.
A French interior ministry spokesman told AFP: "Alexander Shprygin was arrested in the stadium this evening and placed in custody.
"His case will be examined... and could lead to legal proceedings."
Russia went on to lose their match against Wales 3-0 and have now been eliminated from the tournament.
Mr Shprygin was among 43 Russian fans held last week en route to Lille to watch Russia's second game of Euro 2016.
Three detained Russian fans were given jail sentences of up to two years over the violence at the England match in Marseille. Six England fans were jailed for up to six months.
Russia was also fined and handed a suspended disqualification, meaning the team would be thrown out of the Euro tournament if their fans caused more trouble inside stadiums.
The arrest of fans angered the Russian government, which summoned the French ambassador to protest.


It is one of Belfast's biggest murals and a well-known feature in the city's Cathedral Quarter.

Ring of Peace was originally painted in 1998 to mark the Good Friday Agreement.
It is the work of the American-Chilean artist Francisco Letelier, and local artists from Queen Street Studios in the city.
Now the Waring Street mural has an unexpected new addition as its central characters have decided to speak.
Speech bubbles have been added, apparently advertising the services of a nearby firm.
Artist Jennifer Trouton worked on the mural, and she is unhappy that it has been altered.
"I was up and down the 60 foot scaffolding for several weeks in 1998, helping Francisco paint it," she said.
"It was very significant for me as I was a recent graduate and had studied in Belfast during the Troubles, so it was a very positive experience for me to paint something on this scale with this kind of message.
She said she was "horrified and shocked" when she noticed its new look.
"I initially thought it was a prank - it's certainly no Banksy.
"They're not saying anything satirical or witty and they're not making us look at the world in any way differently."
Prof Bill Rolston from the University of Ulster is an expert in murals.
He said the piece is significant.
"The Californian influence is quite evident in the style; it's quite hippy-looking.
"It's an aspirational mural, painted at a particular point in time in the enthusiasm of the Good Friday Agreement.
"There was the notion that here was a new dawn, so it fits that sort of optimism.
"Probably if you painted it now it would be a bit darker, or a bit more confused!"
He said that adding the speech bubbles was "ridiculous".
"There is an unwritten rule here that you don't destroy someone else's mural unless it's really dilapidated, and there's always some negotiation or a nod towards the people who did the original mural.
"That's not been done here."
Whoever has altered the mural is not breaking any laws, and would not have had to apply for planning permission to insert the speech bubbles into the mural.
The BBC made a number of efforts to contact the owner of the building, but he did not reply to our calls and emails.


Dutch police have arrested a man on suspicion of stealing the wallet of a British man whose body was found in a canal in Amsterdam.

Richard Cole, 30, from Dursley in Gloucestershire, went missing during a night out in the Thorbeckeplein area of the city on 25 January.
His body was recovered from the water a week later.
Detectives investigating his death arrested a 23 year old man and have taken him into custody for questioning.
Police previously said "a number of men" were suspected of robbing Mr Cole, who was "very drunk and therefore an easy target".
But they were not thought to have been directly involved in his death, they added.
An inquest into Mr Cole's death was opened at Gloucestershire Coroner's Court earlier and adjourned until 30 June.


The Christmas lights have been switched on in Manger Square in Bethlehem.

6 December 2015 Last updated at 15:01 GMT
Thousands of people came out to watch the event. With the spectacular Christmas tree being the main attraction.
The tree has been decorated with 45,000 lights and an amazing 6,500 baubles.
Christmas is a major event for the biblical town, because Bethlehem is traditionally known as the birthplace of Jesus and where the Nativity takes place.


Two people died and eight people were hurt in a crash involving four vehicles.

It happened just before 10:00 BST on Saturday on an eastbound stretch of the A69 between Haydon Bridge and Bardon Mill in Northumberland.
Northumbria Police said two of the injured were in a serious condition and the other six had non-life threatening injuries.
The road was closed for several hours but has now fully reopened.


Clontarf won the inaugural All-Ireland Twenty/20 Cup with a 10-run win over Waringstown at The Lawn on Sunday.

Waringstown were 34-3 after 7.1 overs but Gregg Thompson came to the rescue with three sixes in his half century.
Later, although still behind the required run rate, Kyle McCallan forced the pace but the Ulster team still finished just short.

A permanent memorial is being planned for Warrington band Viola Beach, who died with their manager in a car crash.

Kris Leonard, River Reeves, and Jack Dakin - all aged 20 - Tomas Lowe, 27, and their manager Craig Tarry, 33, died outside Stockholm on 13 February.
Warrington Council is raising funds for a lasting memorial in the town.
Mayor Geoff Settle said he hopes families and friends can "seek solace" through a tribute to "five young men who were set to take on the world".
"Warrington lost a talented young band on the verge of something special and a group of young people with their whole lives ahead of them.
"We remain deeply saddened and shocked at what happened and our thoughts are with families and friends in Warrington and beyond," he said.
A concert to be staged at Parr Hall on 2 April in memory of the band has sold out.

In the third of a series of in-depth profiles of the four Labour leadership candidates, Iain Watson catches up with Jeremy Corbyn in Essex at the latest of his campaign rallies.

It's not natural Labour territory. The party has lost every election here since 1950. At this year's general election, the Conservatives were returned with an 18,000 majority.
But the people of Chelmsford, in Essex, were queuing round the block outside the city's civic theatre to hear Jeremy Corbyn.
If this had been a football crowd, there would have been purveyors of hot pies. If it had been an audience waiting to the see the latest cinema blockbuster, there would be popcorn vendors.
But it's the 87th Corbyn rally of the Labour leadership campaign. So the products being paraded at the venue were food for thought - newspapers from parties and factions to the left, or on the left, of Labour - Socialist Worker, Socialist Appeal, Labour Briefing.
There were almost as many people here as there have been Corbyn rebellions against his own party leadership. So why were 500 giving up their evening to hear the veteran left winger?
"He's a breath of fresh air," says Helen Davenport, a teacher who had left the Labour party for the Greens. "I gave up hope," she says. "But now there's an alternative. I like his ideas on renationalising rail and he has a more sympathetic policy on immigration. He has the wisdom of Tony Benn."
Sasha McLoughlin agrees: "It's the first time a Labour leader has represented me in years. You vote Labour because that's what you do but it's so exciting to have a leftwing leader, not a Tory in disguise."
Further up the line was Gerard Darcy. He says he wasn't a natural Corbyn supporter but found him to be "straight-talking".
He went on: "There's no artifice. No spin. The other candidates are preened, moulded. He looks like a 70s sociology lecturer but people are now in to the issues, not the image - no one cares about what his smile looks like."
He says Andy Burnham would be "excellent" but is now his second choice.
And the phenomenon that is Corbynmania continued inside the venue. In the media scrum that now surrounds him everywhere he goes, he was asked by Finnish television to give advice to their social democrats, and by Le Monde to comment on French President Francois Hollande's move to the right.
Incidentally, he responds that Hollande "hasn't felt sufficiently able to challenge austerity".
Not a criticism he would level at himself. So how has a left-winger who had languished on the backbenches  - someone to whom Ed Miliband's former chief of staff Lucy Powell admits to never having spoken - now become something of an international celebrity?
He seems quite bemused yet nonplussed by the attention. He needed the support of 35 Labour MPs to get on the ballot and he points out he only got enough nominations with just one minute fifteen seconds to the deadline. This was no long-standing left-wing conspiracy.
He had to "max out" his credit card to get the campaign started and while he has received donations from trade unions such as Unite and communications workers' union the CWU, he appeared to have caught an anti-austerity zeitgeist, with his targets for "crowdfunding" from individuals exceeded.
Irrespective of his politics, he does look and sound different from his Oxbridge educated opponents, all of whom were advisers to Labour politicians before becoming MPs.
He's a generation older, for a start. At 66, he was a Haringey councillor in the 70s and 80s before the other contenders even went to university.
"I have got very few qualifications," he tells me -  he dropped out of North London Polytechnic - "but I have a fascination of reading and read a lot. I spent a lot of time in the school library and the local library and I have this view that everyone I meet knows something I don't know and we can learn from each other."
He was weaned on socialist literature. Not for him the Famous Five: "My mother gave me the Ragged Trousered Philanthropists to read." This was Robert Tressell's novel of working class life in Mugsborough - or Hastings - before World War One, and the philanthropists of the title are the people who are all too willing to do back-breaking work for the benefit of their "betters".
His maths-teacher mother also gave him the diaries of George Orwell. He spent two years on voluntary service overseas in the Caribbean, but first became active in politics in Shropshire.
He founded the Wrekin Young Socialists - the youth wing of the Labour Party -  in the mid-60s. He was the organisation's secretary and regularly attracted 40 to 50 youthful activists to Sunday night meetings.
He produced a magazine and organised protests against nuclear weapons and the Vietnam War - perhaps the perfect pedigree for someone who would go on to form the Stop the War coalition with CND stalwart Monsignor Bruce Kent in 2001 - though it's worth remembering that was initially a protest against intervention in Afghanistan, not Iraq.
He is not in principle against the deployment of British troops but cannot think of current circumstances where he would do so.
He first successfully fought his Islington North in seat in 1983, when the party went down to a disastrous defeat nationally under Michael Foot's leadership on a platform of unilateral disarmament and withdrawal from the EU.
Labour had moved decisively to the left in London, too, but with more success. Ken Livingstone was at the head of the then Greater London Council, later abolished by Mrs Thatcher's government.
It had been literally a divisive time for his party, with some former cabinet ministers splitting away to form the SDP. Meanwhile some of those on the left tried to unseat MPs they regarded as too right-wing, but who hadn't jumped ship. Corbyn had backed Tony Benn's unsuccessful attempt to become the party's deputy leader - he was very narrowly defeated by Denis Healey.
So what had he learned from that period of division?
"It taught me in London we achieved a great deal - on transport, on the environment - but it also taught me the formation of the SDP was catastrophic to the electoral chances of Labour.
"The Conservative so-called triumph in 1983 owed more to the division of the opposition vote than a move to the left. But it also taught me that you have to take communities with you."
There has been a lot of focus on Jeremy Corbyn's disloyalty to his own party. He rebelled on a quarter of all votes during the 2005-2010 government.
But I wondered why he had stayed loyal to Labour rather than moving to any of a myriad of parties to its Left when some of the policies he held dear - on nuclear weapons and re-nationalisation - had been ditched?
"I want to see a more equal, more just society and the Labour Party has always been the vehicle to achieve that, especially with its organic link to the trade unions. I have argued my case on lots of issues and I think things are changing."
And this is his verdict on the 2015 election: "One of the reasons we lost is we weren't offering anything sufficiently different."
Well, you certainly couldn't accuse him of not wishing to put that right.
He tells an appreciative if not overly enthusiastic audience in Essex that the government's welfare bill "is absolutely brutal" and he will oppose the benefits cap.
The cost of welfare is so high, he says, in part because of high rents - which in turn are a symptom of not building enough affordable homes. He rebelled against his party's abstention on the welfare bill while Yvette Cooper and Andy Burnham, despite their doubts, stuck with collective shadow cabinet responsibility. They see that episode as the catalyst for Corbynmania.
He rails against tuition fees, but also opposes those in his party who want to see a graduate tax. He said that "wise" old Tony Benn had told him: "you should tax people because they are wealthy, not because they are educated."
And he defends his policy of using quantitative easing - whereby the Bank of England would increase the supply of money in the economy - to fund infrastructure projects. His critics say it would push up inflation and erode living standards.
He responds: "If you said to people in Germany I have a radical new idea of a National Investment Bank they would just shrug their shoulders and say we are doing that already. What's extreme about that?"
And on challenging the agenda of austerity, he says his party has to be bold. The debt ridden government of 1945 - when, after a by-election, even Chelmsford briefly had a Labour MP - "didn't retrench, it invested".
There is a feeling, though, that if his campaign isn't running out of steam, he to some extent is - cramming in public meetings, rallies and media appearances.
"That's socialism," he says as he is handed, without asking, a glass of water mid-speech as his voice finally falters.
He finishes by denouncing the legacy of the Iraq War and promises "whatever the result of the leadership election" that the party's grass roots will be empowered.
Mandate for change
And he does go on to get a standing ovation.
But I ask him how he could be at the head of a shadow cabinet that disagrees with him on fundamental issues - such as the renewal of Trident - or indeed lead a party whose policies in some key respects are very different from his own?
"Whoever is elected leader will have a very large mandate from the members and the Parliamentary Labour Party - important as it is - I hope will recognise there is at the very least a mandate for a full debate within the party."
Andy Burnham has said he would not be part of a shadow cabinet that didn't commit to renewing Trident. Jeremy Corbyn sees this as a matter of party democracy: "I feel strongly about nuclear weapons. We have to have that debate fairly soon as the government might reach a decision in 2016."
Possibly as soon a this month's Labour Party conference.
Jeremy Corbyn is the front-runner in the campaign but his critics will say that his leadership would be dominated by those internal debates within Labour that would leave little time - even with the best will in the world - to take the fight to the government.
But Corbyn insists "there is a thirst for doing politics differently". We will find out just how many people are drinking in his ideas a week from now.


The government should not support the building of a third runway at Heathrow until a number of environmental conditions can be met, MPs have said.

The Airports Commission published a report backing a third runway in July.
But the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee report said firm plans to deal with climate-changing emissions, air quality and noise need to be put in place.
A final government decision is expected by the end of the year.
Labour MP Huw Irranca-Davies, chairman of the committee, said it would be "irresponsible" to postpone dealing with the environmental impact of expansion at Heathrow.
He warned that to do so "could lead to legal challenges as a result of the potential damage to public health from increased air pollution and noise".
"If the government decides to accept the commission's recommendation for a third runway in principle, we will seek assurances from the secretary of state for transport that environmental conditions will be met before it is given final approval," he added.
BBC business editor Kamal Ahmed said senior sources at the company that runs Heathrow have told him the "mood music" around the decision to expand is in favour of the third runway being approved.
The cross-party committee said legal air pollution limits would have to be reached if the west London airport expands and also called for a ban on night flights to ease noise.
The MPs said the airport had to show that an expanded Heathrow would be less noisy than it is with two runways. Their report also called for Heathrow to say it would cover the costs of surface transport improvements.
The Airports Commission has already called for flights between 23:30 and 06:00 to be banned.
Heathrow currently has said it wants a "review" of the issue and has not made any pledges over night flights. The airport has also said it plans to ensure more people arrive by public transport to keep emissions down.
Mr Irranca-Davies said: "The communities living near to the roads around Heathrow already put up with noise and extra traffic.
"It would be quite unacceptable to subject them to a potentially significant deterioration in air quality as well."
A strategy to deliver aviation emissions at no higher than 2005 levels by 2050 should be put in place by the government, the committee's report recommended.
It also called for a Community Engagement Board to be set up to increase trust between local residents and the government.
Mr Irranca-Davies said: "Planes are becoming more fuel efficient, but this alone will not keep aviation emissions in line with the government's climate change targets given the growth in passenger numbers.
"Even without expansion, aviation is on track to exceed its climate change target. We heard evidence that those targets might be met in theory, but at present there is a policy vacuum and evidence-based scepticism as to whether they can be met in practice."
Heathrow's chief executive John Holland-Kaye told the committee earlier this month that the airport could comfortably expand to include a third runway and still stay within environmental targets.
At the time, he said the issue of night flights was one that Heathrow was looking at and would comment on "in due course".
The issue of Heathrow's expansion has been a long-running and contentious issue.
In 2009, while in opposition, David Cameron ruled out Heathrow expansion, saying "no ifs, no buts".
The Airport Commission's recommendation in July was criticised by competing airport Gatwick, and by London Mayor Boris Johnson, who has argued for a whole new airport.
Environmentalists and residents who live near the flight path of the proposed third runway have also campaigned against it.


There is more to Chinese art than Ai Weiwei - that is the message from the organisers of the UK's largest ever exhibition of contemporary art from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

More than 30 artists are giving a snapshot of current Chinese art with an exhibition across six venues under the title Harmonious Society, part of Manchester's Asian art triennial.
Politics is not the main motivation for most artists, according to curator Jiang Jiehong, professor of Chinese art at Birmingham City University - but those who do tackle political subjects do so with "a particular sense of humour".
For his sculpture Long Live The Great Union, Yang Zhenzhong has created nine free-standing blocks that appear disjointed until the viewer looks through a small window. From that angle, it becomes clear that the blocks make up a replica of the Tiananmen Tower in Beijing. It is at the National Football Museum.
Jin Feng's Chinese Plates are printing blocks featuring texts from China's constitution of human rights. Like normal printing blocks, the text is written in reverse, making it difficult to read. The plates are on show at the John Rylands Library and ArtWork in Salford.
Taiwanese artist Chen Chieh-jen has created a four-screen video installation about the country's first leprosy hospital. There were protests when the government decided to demolish the building to expand Taipei's metro system in 1994. The film, titled Realm of Reverberations, is on show at the Museum of Science and Industry.
These books in the 19th Century John Rylands Library appear to be alive, each gently rising and falling as they breathe. Breathing Books by Wang Yuyang, in the library's Historic Reading Room, are meant to show that the written word is "a living, breathing force".
Shanghai-based Liu Jianhua's Boxing Times features 14 suspended porcelain boxing gloves, each bearing an inscription of a different country's name written in its native language on the sleeve. The work is at the National Football Museum.
Real and fantasy creatures adorn a mirror designed by Li Wei to sit in Manchester's gothic cathedral. It is designed to provide "a lieral reflection on humanity, evolution and scientific and religious beliefs".
Also sited in Manchester Cathedral, Zheng Guogu's Brain Lines consists of 13 light boxes representing the 12 Apostles and Jesus, each with lines showing brain activity. The work is intended to "explore the fine line between faith and science".
Samson Young's instructions for a "muted lecture of music of political process" are in the John Rylands Library. Hong Kong-based Young also stages muted concerts - in which musicians are asked to play with the same vigour as usual, just without making any noise.
Harmonious Society is staged by the Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art in Manchester. Asia Triennial Manchester runs until 23 November.


Valencia boss Gary Neville says his team must beat Espanyol on Saturday to stop an alarming slide down the league table and ease the pressure on him.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The former Manchester United captain has yet to secure a league win since taking on his first managerial job.
His team have gone from the fringes of Champions League qualification to 14th, four points above the relegation zone.
"We have to win this match on Saturday," said Neville. "That's the pressure I'm putting on myself."
Valencia have lost four and drawn five league games under Neville, who was appointed at the start of December.
They were also crushed 7-0 by Barcelona in the Copa del Rey last week and must face Lionel Messi and co again in the second leg of their semi-final at the Mestalla on Wednesday.
But Neville, who was urged to quit by former Valencia captain Santiago Canizares after the loss to Barcelona, is already looking ahead.
When asked about the prospect of relegation, the former England international responded: "I'm not even considering that.
"I know the situation we're in. I'm desperate to turn these results around. I will turn these results around."


Brazil forward Neymar has said he would like to play alongside Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho at Barcelona.

Neymar and national team-mate Coutinho, both 23, know each other from their time in their country's youth set-up.
Spanish media have linked Reds playmaker Coutinho, a 2013 signing from Inter, with a move to Barca.
"I see many Brazilian players with quality today. But one I like and think could play here is Coutinho. He has the style of Barcelona," said Neymar.
Coutinho, capped 12 times for Brazil, has played 108 times for Liverpool, scoring 17 goals, including the winner in the 1-0 win at Stoke on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.


Farmers in Somerset and Gloucestershire are helping national bird charity the RSPB to investigate the decline of Britain's starlings.

Experts will research whether the birds have sufficient food and nesting sites in both counties.
Numbers across the UK have declined by 80% since 1979 and by nearly a third in the past 10 years.
Across Europe it is thought 40 million of the birds have disappeared over the past three decades.
"Our records show that we have lost more starlings across Europe than any other farmland bird," said Dr Richard Gregory, from the RSPB's bird monitoring section.
"Forty million starlings lost represents over 150 for every hour since the 1980s.
"This loss should be a wake-up call, because we ignore the decline of nature at our own peril."
It is thought a loss of grassland through conversion to forestry land and the growing of crops could be linked to the reduction of numbers across Europe.

In the UK, the British Trust for Ornithology has said
          intensively farmed land made it more difficult
 for the birds to find their favourite food - cranefly larvae that live in undisturbed soil.
Martin Harper, the RSPB's conservation director, hoped the research would yield the answers to ensure the species has a secure future.
"Understanding exactly what is causing these declines will allow us to develop practical and cost-effective solutions for land managers and farmers," he said.
"These could then be delivered through wildlife-friendly farming schemes and other policy interventions."
Starling numbers have been tracked by the RSPB's annual
          Big Garden Birdwatch
, the world's biggest wildlife survey.
Since it began in 1979, the average number of starlings spotted by participants has dropped from 15 to just three.


A man who caught 19 rats at his house within a 24-hour period has said his young family have been forced to leave their home for safety reasons.

Michael McCann, his wife Paula and two young children are staying with friends after moving out of their Belfast home.
They told Belfast Live their rented council house was "overrun" by rodents when they returned home from a holiday.
The couple said their cat, who they put into a cattery during their trip, had likely been keeping the rats at bay.
Mr McCann told the website: "I caught eight rats in the first 12 hours of having the traps down, then another four, and over 24 hours I'd caught a total of 19.
"They were big, grey rats.
"The look of them was disgusting and to think they were in our home, near our children, was awful."
The couple said the rats had left faeces all over their Rutland Street house and chewed through the electric cables of their washing machine, microwave and kettle.
Mrs McCann said: "The house is owned by the Housing Executive and we've done our best to look after it really well despite the damp.
"But these rats are too much to cope with. They're disgusting and a danger to the health of my entire family and we just cannot stay there."
A spokesman for Belfast City Council told the BBC its environmental health team had visited the property and confirmed that 19 rats had been caught at the house.
"Our environmental health officers and pest control team are aware of the ongoing rat problem at the property on Rutland Street," said a council statement.
"We are working closely with the Housing Executive to resolve the issue to ensure that the property is made habitable again."
The Housing Executive said: "We first received a report of rats in the dwelling two weeks ago when an environmental health team was engaged and we carried out repairs to the property based on their report.
"After a follow-up inspection by pest controllers yesterday [Tuesday], we were told rats had returned to the property.
"We received another inspection report yesterday and more work will be carried out by the Housing Executive on the property immediately."
The housing body said it was discussing housing options with the McCann family, which "include a possible permanent move away from this property".


Wrexham boosted their National League play-off hopes with a fourth win in five games while adding to Boreham Wood's relegation worries.

Connor Jennings slotted Wrexham ahead with an early penalty after Scott Doe brought Kayden Jackson down in the box.
Jackson almost added to the hosts' lead but hit the side netting after rounding Boreham Wood keeper James Russell.
Defeat leaves Boreham Wood just one point above of the relegation zone in 19th.
Gary Mills' Wrexham picked up a fifth consecutive clean sheet and are unbeaten in their last eight league games.


The Victoria & Albert Museum has pledged to support smaller museums across the country after being named the Museum of the Year 2016.

The judges said the London-based V&A had "indisputably become one of the best museums in the world".
It was announced as the winner by the Duchess of Cambridge at a ceremony at the Natural History Museum.
The £100,000 prize is the world's biggest museum prize and the largest single arts prize in the UK.
Martin Roth, the V&A's director, said he was "totally overwhelmed" at the win and that it was a compliment to the work of the museum's staff.
"There are a lot of smaller museums that do any amazing job," he told the guests in the Natural History Museum's Hintze Hall, home to the cast of the famous Diplodocus skeleton.
"We thought it's great to be there on the shortlist, but the other ones deserve the prize and the money."
Roth immediately announced that the V&A would use the prize money to re-establish a department - originally set up in the 1970s, but later axed in budget cuts - to support and collaborate with museums and galleries across the country.
"That was the idea then and we need it even more now," he told the BBC shortly after his acceptance speech. "It comes at the right moment with Brexit and the other problems that we have - we need solidarity, we need to work together."
He admitted the referendum vote to leave the EU had worried him and others at the V&A. "It's the unknown," he said, "It feels like skiing in very thick fog."
He added that he had already received letters from potential funders "asking if we can put things on hold".
The V&A was picked from five finalists. The others on the shortlist were:
"The V&A experience is an unforgettable one," said Stephen Deuchar, Art Fund director and chairman of the judges.
"Its recent exhibitions from Alexander McQueen to The Fabric of India, and the opening of its new Europe 1600-1815 galleries, were all exceptional accomplishments - at once entertaining and challenging, rooted in contemporary scholarship, and designed to reach and affect the lives of a large and diverse national audience.
"It was already one of the best-loved museums in the country: This year it has indisputably become one of the best museums in the world."
Among the 370 guests at the ceremony were artists Antony Gormley, Grayson Perry, Michael Craig-Martin, Cornelia Parker, Mat Collishaw, Gavin Turk, Yinka Shonibare and Jonathan Yeo, as well as Culture Minister Ed Vaizey.
The Art Fund awards its museum of the year prize to an establishment which has "shown exceptional imagination, innovation and achievement".
In 2015, the V&A enjoyed a record-breaking year for the establishment, pulling in 3.9 million visitors, and 14.5 million visitors online.
This success has been largely due to a major gallery restoration project and sell-out exhibitions such as  Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, in celebration of the innovative designer who died in 2010, which attracted a record-breaking 493,043 visitors from 87 countries.
Its 2013 hit David Bowie Is  retrospective, which embarked on a global tour after its London run, notched up its millionth visitor in Paris in May.
Other highlights have included a major show of Indian textiles and a worldwide touring programme for the V&A's Museum of Childhood.
The judges for Museum of the Year 2016 were: Gus Casely-Hayford, curator and art historian; Will Gompertz, BBC arts editor; Ludmilla Jordanova, professor of history and visual culture, Durham University; Cornelia Parker, artist; and Stephen Deuchar (chair).
Last year the prize was awarded to the Whitworth in Manchester.

The audience for the latest episode of Top Gear dropped by more than a third, compared with last week's series debut.

An average of 2.8 million viewers tuned in to the second show of the new series on Sunday evening - 1.6 million fewer than the first episode.
Viewing peaked at 3.3 million just before the BBC Two show ended, overnight figures show.
Presenter Chris Evans said viewing figures would be higher when on-demand services were taken into account.
He tweeted: "Overnight television viewing figures for Top Gear have never been less relevant. Obviously some newspapers prefer to live in the past.
"The way Top Gear is being viewed is repositioning the way television is consumed. Last week 9 million viewers. This week we shall see."
The first episode of this series was watched by an average of 4.4 million when it was first broadcast - 23% of the TV viewing share.
However, when all forms of viewing are taken into account - including people who recorded the programme, watched the repeat or requested the show on a catch-up service such as iPlayer - the launch episode's audience totalled around 9 million.
Alan Tyler, acting controller of BBC Entertainment Commissioning, said: "We are delighted that this was the strongest launch episode of Top Gear since 2010."
Referring to the show's second episode, Tyler said: "Chris, Matt and the team once again brilliantly led BBC Two's biggest show of the day, by some margin.
"It secured a peak audience of 3.3m, and the show again remained the most requested programme on BBC iPlayer."
Overnight figures only account for viewers who watched the show as it was being broadcast, and do not include those watching on catch-up services.
The first two episodes of the last series of Top Gear, which was hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, were watched by 6.41 million and 6.56 million viewers respectively, according to overnight figures from the time.
Sunday evening's figures give the second episode of Top Gear a 14% share of all television viewing in its timeslot.
BBC One's Antiques Roadshow attracted more viewers than the motoring show - with 4.2 million people tuning in.
Soccer Aid on ITV also had a bigger audience, with an average 3.9 million viewers watching across the four-hour broadcast - including viewers watching on ITV+1.
Sunday evening's Top Gear featured guest appearances from Damian Lewis, Sharleen Spiteri, Seasick Steve and Tinie Tempah.
This series is the first since the departure of Clarkson, Hammond and May following Clarkson's fracas with a producer.
They later signed up to present a new show, The Grand Tour, on Amazon Prime - which will premiere later this year.
Evans and Matt LeBlanc have taken over hosting duties for the latest series, together with co-presenters Sabine Schmitz and Eddie Jordan.
Rory Reid and Chris Harris also present a spin-off show, BBC Three's Extra Gear.


The people of Greece are facing further years of economic hardship following a Eurozone agreement over the terms of a third bailout.

The deal included more tax rises and spending cuts, despite the Syriza government coming to power promising to end what it described as the "humiliation and pain" of austerity.
With the country having already endured years of economic contraction since the global downturn, just how does Greece's ordeal compare with other recessions and how have the lives of the country's people been affected?
It is now generally agreed that Greece has experienced an economic crisis on the scale of the US Great Depression of the 1930s.
According to the Greek government's own figures, the economy first contracted in the final quarter of 2008 and - apart from some weak growth in 2014 - has been shrinking ever since. The recession has cut the size of the Greek economy by around a quarter, the largest contraction of an advanced economy since the 1950s.
Although the Greek recession has not been quite as deep as the Great Depression from peak to trough, it has gone on longer and many observers now believe Greek GDP will drop further in 2015.
Jobs are increasingly difficult to come by in Greece - especially for the young. While a quarter of the population are out of work, youth unemployment is running much higher.
Half of those under 25 are out of work. In some regions of western Greece, the youth unemployment rate is well above 60%.
To make matters worse, long-term unemployment is at particularly high levels in Greece.
Being out of work for significant periods of time has severe consequences, according to a report by the European Parliament. The longer a person is unemployed, the less employable they become. Re-entering the workforce also becomes more difficult and more expensive.
Young people have been particularly affected by long-term unemployment: one out of three has been jobless for more than a year.
After two years out of work, the unemployed also lose their health insurance.
This persistent unemployment also means pension funds receive fewer contributions from the working population. As more Greeks are without jobs, more pensioners are having to sustain families on a reduced income.
According to the latest figures from the Greek government, 45% of pensioners receive monthly payments below the poverty line of â‚¬665.
The Greek people are also facing dropping wages.
In the five years from 2008 to 2013, Greeks became on average 40% poorer, according to data from the country's statistical agency analysed by Reuters. As well as job losses and wage cuts, the decline can also be explained by steep cuts in workers' compensation and social benefits.
In 2014, disposable household income in Greece sunk to below 2003 levels.
Like during all recessions, the poor and vulnerable have been hardest hit.
One in five Greeks are experiencing severe material deprivation, a figure that has nearly doubled since 2008.
Almost four million people living in Greece, more than a third of the country's total population, were classed as being 'at risk of poverty or social exclusion' in 2014.
According to Dr Panos Tsakloglou, economist and professor at the Athens University of Economics and Business, the crisis has exposed Greece's lack of social safety nets.
"The welfare state in Greece has historically been very weak, driven primarily by clientelistic calculations rather than an assessment of needs. In the past this was not really urgent because there were rarely any particularly explosive social conditions. The family was substituting the welfare state," he told the BBC.
Typically, if a young person lost his or her job or could not find a job after graduating, they would receive support from the family until their situation improved.
But as more and more people have become jobless and with pensions slashed as part of the austerity imposed on Greece from its creditors, ordinary Greeks are feeling the impact.
"This has led to many more unemployed people falling into poverty much faster," Dr Tsakloglou said.
Healthcare is one of the public services that has been hit hardest by the crisis. An estimated 800,000 Greeks are without medical access due to a lack of insurance or poverty.
A 2014 report in the Lancet medical journal highlighted the devastating social and health consequences of the financial crisis and resulting austerity on the country's population.
At a time of heightened demand, the report said, "the scale and speed of imposed change have constrained the capacity of the public health system to respond to the needs of the population".
While a number of social initiatives and volunteer-led health clinics have emerged to ease the burden, many drug prevention and treatment centres and psychiatric clinics have been forced to close due to budget cuts.
HIV infections among injecting drug users rose from 15 in 2009 to 484 people in 2012.
The crisis also appears to have taken its toll on people's wellbeing.
Figures suggest that the prevalence of major depression almost trebled from 3% to 8% of the population in the three years to 2011, during the onset of the crisis.
While starting from a low initial figure, the suicide rate rose by 35% in Greece between 2010 and 2012, according to a study published in the British Medical Journal.
Researchers concluded that suicides among those of working age coincided with austerity measures.
Greece's public and non-profit mental health service providers have been forced to scale back operations, shut down, or reduce staff, while plans for development of child psychiatric services have been abandoned.
Funding for mental health decreased by 20% between 2010 and 2011, and by a further 55% the following year.
Faced with the prospect of dwindling incomes or unemployment, many Greeks have been forced to look for work elsewhere. In the last five years, Greece's population has declined, falling by about 400,000.
A 2013 study found that more than 120,000 professionals, including doctors, engineers and scientists, had left Greece since the start of the crisis in 2010.
A more recent European University Institute survey found that of those who emigrated, nine in 10 hold a university degree and more than 60% of those have a master's degree, while 11% hold a PhD.
Foteini Ploumbi was in her early thirties when she lost her job as a warehouse supervisor in Athens after the owner could no longer afford to pay his staff.
After a year looking for a new job in Greece, she moved to the UK in 2013 and immediately found work as a business analyst in London.
"I had no choice but leave if I wanted to work, I had no prospect of employment in Greece. I would love to go back, my whole life is back there. But logic stops me from returning at the moment," she said.
"In the UK, I can get by - I can't even do that in Greece."


A competition to find designs to help revitalise the historic centre of Dumfries has drawn to a close.

Entrants were invited to submit their ideas for the Midsteeple Quarter in the heart of the town.
The national competition hopes to develop a new architectural vision for the area and a number of empty shops nearby.
It was organised by the community-led Stove Network in collaboration with the Glasgow Institute of Architects.
Prizes will be awarded for the top three designs in the competition and their work will be exhibited in Dumfries and Glasgow during the summer.
The Stove Network wants to see more buildings brought under local control and create new housing and services on the town's High Street.


A US dairy faces an overtime bill of about $10m (£8m), after a group of truck drivers won a pay dispute that hinged on some punctuation.

An appeal court sided with the drivers, saying the lack of a comma in the state of Maine's overtime laws made the regulations too ambiguous.
The ruling has been branded "profoundly nerdy" by Quartz, while the Guardian says it "will delight grammar nerds and Oxford comma enthusiasts anywhere".
Well, Maine's law says the following activities do not qualify for overtime pay: "The canning, processing, preserving, freezing, drying, marketing, storing, packing for shipment or distribution of: (1) Agricultural produce; (2) Meat and fish products; and (3) Perishable foods."
The drivers said the lack of a comma between "shipment" and "or distribution"  meant the legislation applied only to the single activity of "packing", rather than to "packing" and "distribution" as two separate activities.
And because drivers distribute the goods, but do not pack them, they argued they were therefore eligible for overtime pay - backdated over several years.
A district court had earlier ruled in favour of the dairy firm.
But circuit judge David J Barron overturned that, writing: "We conclude that the exemption's scope is actually not so clear in this regard.
"And because, under Maine law, ambiguities in the state's wage and hour laws must be construed liberally in order to accomplish their remedial purpose, we adopt the drivers' narrower reading of the exemption."
Their employer, Oakhurst Dairy, is likely to appeal.
But if it were to ultimately lose, it would not be the first business to fall foul of punctuation problems, spelling mistakes and typos.
When US defence giant Lockheed Martin signed a deal to build Hercules military transport aircraft for an unnamed air force, it knew manufacturing would take several years.
So the contract it drew up in 1999 stated that the price of the planes would increase over time, to account for inflation.
Unfortunately the formula used to work out the price of the aircraft had a typo: a comma that was one decimal place out.
A senior Lockheed executive at the time was quoted as saying: "That comma cost Lockheed $70m."
But before we feel too sorry for the firm, in the previous year it had reported total profits of about $1bn.
In December 2005, stock market trading in a newly listed Japanese company was thrown into chaos by a broker's typing error.
Shares in J-Com plunged after the broker at Mizuho Securities tried to sell 610,000 shares at 1 yen each. They had meant to sell one share for 610,000 yen.
A fault at the Tokyo Stock Exchange meant the deal could not be reversed, costing Mizuho about 40bn yen (worth $333m or £190m at the time).
We're guessing the trader's bonus wasn't great that year.
Officials at Companies House - the official UK register of businesses - led to the demise of a Welsh engineering firm after a spelling mistake.
Records had been amended to show Taylor & Sons had been wound up in 2009.
But the failing business was another firm called Taylor & Son - with "Son" in the singular.
Taylor & Sons dated back to 1875 and more than 250 people lost their jobs when it went under.
Former co-owner, Philip Davison-Sebry, claimed £8.8m in damages over the mix-up.
This week the BBC learned that Companies House had agreed a confidential settlement.
Fancy flying business class from Toronto to Cyprus for $39?
Well back in 2006 you had the chance to do just that after Alitalia listed that fare instead of the usual $3,900.
In the time it took to correct the mistake, some 2,000 passengers took advantage of the bargain.
And when the airline tried to cancel the tickets, the backlash was so big that it decided to save its reputation and honour the price as a goodwill gesture.
The cost to the carrier was estimated at $7.7m.
In the world of beer collecting, Allsopp's Arctic Ale gets the pulse racing.
And when one collector put an unopened 155-year-old bottle of one of the planet's rarest beers on eBay in 2007 he was expecting a big payday.
Unfortunately it was listed as "Allsop's" with just one "p" meaning it was not widely seen and received just two bids, closing at a winning price of $308.
Two months later the winning bidder sold the beer on.
Listed as "Allsopp's", he received more than 150 offers, and sold it for more than $500,000.
Or so he thought.
Sadly for him though, it later emerged that the winning bid had in fact come from a prankster. The owner reportedly decided to keep the bottle in a safety deposit box instead.


Manchester United against Liverpool is one of football's most intense rivalries but few have been as controversial as Good Friday 1915, when one of British sport's worst betting scandals took place.

Manchester United against Liverpool is a match which rarely fails to deliver some element of controversy. But the recent Steven Gerrard 38-second red card has nothing on the tie between the clubs 100 years ago.
On that day, there were "two matches going on at once" during a crucial bottom of the table clash at Old Trafford.
After an approach by a third party, some players from both sides hatched a plot to rig the game for a 2-0 home win, which eventually saw United avoid relegation.
"There was the realistic possibility of relegation for both of the sides - so it was an important match," says Graham Sharpe, a sports writer who has researched the fixture.
"It was overshadowed by the First World War, which had been raging for several months, and you could make the case that those players thought to themselves, 'when this season has finished, there may not be one to follow'."
Many footballers had already signed up to fight, while others played on.
There were rumours about the honesty of the tie, even before kick-off.
There were eyewitness accounts of the two sets of players meeting up in Manchester pubs to discuss the outcome, before bets were placed at up to 8/1.
Bookmakers were naturally suspicious if they saw "significant amounts of bets" on one particular outcome or score, Mr Sharpe says.
A crowd of up to 18,000 witnessed one of the fixture's most extraordinary passages, when United were 1-0 up and won a penalty.
Patrick O'Connell, a centre half and the side's captain, stepped up and hit it so far wide it nearly hit the corner flag, according to match reports.
Mr Sharpe explains: "From all reports, he walked back up the pitch laughing as he thought 'well it doesn't matter, we can get another goal whenever we want one'."
There are accounts of a dressing room row at half-time, with some players who were not in on the plot threatening not to come out for the second half.
And after United got a second goal, the bet was nearly ruined when Liverpool forward Fred Pagnam hit the crossbar.
"A number of his teammates gestured angrily towards him," Mr Sharpe says.
Baseball's 1919 Black Sox scandal - "Say it ain't so, Joe," was the apocryphal cry of the heartbroken kid who could not believe his hero, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, could have done such a dastardly thing as throw the 1919 World Series.
But it was true, and the United States was rocked by the news that several members of the Chicago White Sox had conspired to fix the outcome of games against the Cincinnati Reds in return for $100,000 ($1.42m /Â£960k in today's money). Several of their players, including Jackson, were given life bans.
Pakistan 2010 cricket spot-fixing scandal - Former Pakistan cricket captain Salman Butt was jailed for 30 months in 2011 for his part in a conspiracy to bowl deliberate no-balls in a 2010 Test match against England.
Former world number two Test bowler Mohammad Asif was jailed for one year and 19-year-old bowler Mohammad Amir was given six months.
Sheffield Wednesday 1964 betting scandal -  Former Sheffield Wednesday centre half Peter Swan and his fellow player David Layne bet Â£50 that Ipswich Town would beat their own team Sheffield Wednesday 2-0.
They were jailed for four years for "conspiracy to defraud". Swan's eight year ban cost him his place in the 1966 World Cup as he had been a regular in the England team.
Failed floodlights scam 1997 - A businessman, with links to Chinese Triad gangs, was convicted of taking part in an Asian betting scam by plotting to black out a Charlton Athletic v Liverpool game.
Two previous matches - West Ham united v Crystal Palace and Wimbledon v Arsenal - saw the floodlights fail when the scores were level, a result favourable to a Far East betting syndicate.
"It's almost as if there were two matches going on at once."
Suspicions were raised almost immediately after the game, with an inquiry announced shortly afterwards.
Later that year, Liverpool players Tom Fairfoul, Tom Miller, Bob Purcell and Jackie Sheldon and United's Enoch West, Sandy Turnbull and Arthur Whalley received lifetime bans.
Lawrence Cook, of Chester, and Manchester City's Fred Howard were also banned for their parts in the scam.
The Football Association said the players had "sought to undermine the whole fabric of the game and discredit its honesty and fairness."
Players were then called up to fight in the war.
When they returned, many had their bans lifted in recognition of their war efforts, while Turnbull received a posthumous pardon as he was fatally wounded at Arras in 1917.
However, Enoch 'Knocker' West, who had refused to admit his role in the plot and even sued the FA for libel, was not pardoned and remained banned from football for 30 years.
A recent campaign to clear his name has stalled because the FA said his documents were lost.
Alex Jackson, Collections Officer at the National Football Museum, thinks the player's motivations for the plot could be similar to that of the US baseball players involved in the 1919 Black Sox scandal.
He said footballer's wages had fallen after the outbreak of war and - similar to the Chicago White Sox players - financial reward was the aim.
Mr Sharpe believes it was "a combination of 'let's stick two fingers up to authority' and 'let's cover ourselves in the event of losing our livelihoods or in fact our lives".
Mr Jackson said: "It was probably the biggest scandal of the time as it involved quite a number of players and two of the biggest clubs in the league.
"It is interesting that the players were approached by a third party to arrange the scam, but they were never found out".
Mr Sharpe said the match changed the way the British betting industry operated.
"It was the first major case of its type and will have made the authorities wary of this sort of behaviour. For that reason, it will never be completely forgotten."


Stormont has failed to "lead the planning, development and growth of integrated education", according to a Department of Education review.

It calls for DE and bodies such as the Education Authority, to actively promote integrated education.
Currently, the department only has a statutory duty to encourage and facilitate integrated schools.
The authors make recommendations to tackle "the long-standing issue of our separate and costly schooling".
However, they reject proposals that parents should indicate what school they want their child to go to when registering their birth.
"Stakeholders believed this would allow a more pro-active approach to planning for integrated education in response to demand," said the DE report.
But it concludes that it would not be feasible to base planning decisions on preferences made four to five years in advance.
The authors are also critical of teacher-training in Northern Ireland, claiming that young teachers are "trained to be familiar with and teach in approximately one half of the schools across Northern Ireland only".
They recommend that teachers should no longer be exempt from fair employment regulations.
They claim this would end the practice of controlled schools employing mainly Protestant teachers while maintained schools employ mainly Catholic teachers.
The authors also say that shared education "should not be seen as a pathway to integrated education".
The report calls for a number of other measures including:
In integrated education, schools aim to enrol approximately equal numbers of Catholic and Protestant children as well as children from other religious and cultural backgrounds.
There are currently 65 integrated schools in Northern Ireland, attended by 6.9% of pupils.
The first, Lagan College, opened in Belfast in 1981.
Forty-one per cent of integrated school pupils are from a Protestant background and 36% are from a Catholic background.
However, the report reveals that 32 integrated schools have fewer than 30% of pupils drawn from the minority community in their area.
Four of those have fewer than 10% of pupils from the minority community.
The review was commissioned by the former Education Minister John O'Dowd in January 2016.
He said it would be an opportunity to examine the growth and development of integrated education in the 21st Century.
He appointed the president of the Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education Colm Cavanagh and Prof Margaret Topping to carry it out.
It was completed in November 2016.
Publishing it was outgoing Education Minister Peter Weir's final act in his term of office.


Brian Cameron netted a late penalty as Elgin City came from behind to secure a draw against Annan Athletic.

Annan led courtesy of goals from Josh Todd and Smart Osadolor in 11 second-half minutes.
But Elgin pulled a goal back through Kyle MacLeod's header before Cameron slotted home from 12 yards after Ben Jago fouled Dylan Easton in the area.
Both teams ended the game with 10 men as Marc McKenzie and Matt Flynn were sent off near the end.


UKIP's Wales leader has said the UK leaving the European Union would mean "real devolution" for Wales.

Nathan Gill told the party's conference in Llandudno EU responsibilities over farming, fishing, and business would transfer to Cardiff Bay.
But the Wales Stronger in Europe group said "vital EU funding" for farmers and businesses would be lost.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage said he was optimistic his party would "make a breakthrough" in the assembly election.
With elections in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and London amongst the polls taking place on 5 May, he told the conference UKIP faced a "vast organisational task".
"But I'm pretty optimistic, I'm certainly optimistic here in Wales, that we're going to do very well and make a breakthrough," he said.
"We will once again do what we did in the general election, we will surprise the commentators by just how many votes we take from the Labour Party."
Appealing to Labour supporters and trade unionists to get behind the campaign to leave the EU, Mr Farage warned that the referendum in June could not be won "from the centre-right of politics in this country".
"We must portray this as not being a battle of left and right, it's a battle of right and wrong, it's a battle about who governs our country, that's the message we've got to put out there," he said.
Earlier, playing down the party's assembly selection row, Mr Farage told BBC Wales "the messages" not "the messenger" were important.
Mr Gill has said getting 10 regional AMs elected in May's assembly election would be a good result for the party.
But after a long-running internal row, the party is yet to finalise its regional candidate selections.
Mr Gill told the conference: "We can bring back the 75% of laws made by faceless bureaucrats in Brussels, from farming, fishing and employment, energy, business and trade - a whole host of laws that would end up right where they belong, here in Wales, written for the people of Wales, by the people of Wales and for the people of Wales to democratically vote on.
"Now that's what I call real devolution.
"We can protect our industries, tap into our wealth of natural resources and put power back into the hands of the people."
A fringe meeting at the conference with Mr Farage had to be moved due to the number of people who wanted to attend.
He eventually addressed delegates from a stairway at Venue Cymru, urging UKIP members to work with other parties in the EU referendum campaign.
Plaid Cymru AM and Wales Stronger in Europe spokesman Rhodri Glyn Thomas said: "Given that UKIP spent years opposing devolution altogether, their apparent conversion to giving the assembly more powers rings hollow indeed.
"If the UK left Europe, vital EU funding for Welsh farmers, businesses and universities would be lost, wreaking untold damage on our economy."
Finance ministers from the world's leading economies also warned of a "shock" to the global economy if the UK leaves the EU.
UKIP Wales' main policies for the assembly election are:


Mae'r Prif Weinidog Carwyn Jones yn dweud nad oes rheswm i Brexit fod yn "drychineb" i Gymru.

Mewn cyfweliad gyda BBC Cymru, dywedodd Mr Jones: "Os caiff Brexit ei weinyddu'n iawn, bach iawn fydd yr effaith. Fe allai'r effaith beidio ag achosi anhawsterau o unrhyw fath i ni."
Serch hynny, roedd ganddo rybudd: "Os na chaiff ei weinyddu'n iawn, mae'n bosib y bydd yn drychineb. Fe allai wneud i Gymru a'r Deyrnas Unedig edrych yn amherthnasol, yn grŵp o ynysoedd oddi ar arfordir Ewrop, sydd ddim yn rhan o farchnad fawr."
Ychwanegodd: "Does dim rheswm iddo fod yn drychineb."
"Mae yna naws afreal i hyn - mae'n mynd i gymryd llawer hirach na dwy flynedd. Fe fydd yn bum mlynedd. Rhaid i ni fod yn amyneddgar".
"Y peth pwysig yw fod hyn yn cael ei wneud yn iawn, nad oes brysio, nad yw'n cael ei wneud yn anghywir."


A man has been assaulted with a hammer at a house in the Woodvale Avenue area of Belfast.

Two men armed with a hammer and a knife entered the house shortly after 20:00 GMT on Saturday.
A 23-year-old man fled the property unharmed, and another, aged 22, was assaulted with a hammer, but did not require medical treatment.
Another man in his 50s who was in the house was not injured.


Ulster Bank made a profit of £114m in the third quarter of this year.

The bank, which operates across Ireland, said it had seen a 48% increase in mortgage lending so far this year.
Ulster Bank is the largest bank in Northern Ireland and the third biggest in the Republic of Ireland. The profits included a 'write back' of £58m in impairment charges.
That means money set aside to cover expected losses can now be released.
The bank's parent company, RBS, said third-quarter net profit rose to £952m from £896m after it booked a £1.1bn gain from its sale of the US bank, Citizens.
RBS, which was was bailed out by the UK government in 2008, and is currently 73% owned by the state, said restructuring costs soared to £847m.


Co-op Bank's creditors have approved a £1.5bn plan to shore up the struggling bank's finances.

The troubled bank was forced to hand over control to private investors after discovering a serious capital shortfall in its balance sheet.
The plan will give bondholders 70% ownership of the bank while the Co-op Group, the bank's current owner, will see its stake fall to 30%.
The Co-op said 99.9% of creditors who voted had approved the plan.
The deal still needs to be approved by a court on Wednesday.
Labour's former City minister Lord Myners has been appointed as Co-op Group's senior independent director and will chair its governance review.
In addition to the bank's financial problems, it was hit by scandal when former chairman Paul Flowers was arrested for alleged drugs offences.
Last month, Prime Minister David Cameron announced that there would be an independent investigation into events at the bank, including Mr Flowers' time at the helm.


Belfast Giants suffered a blow to their Elite League title hopes after this defeat by Sheffield Steelers on Sunday.

The Giants won Saturday's game against the Yorkshire team in a SSE Arena double-header and Chris Higgins put the hosts ahead less than 24 hours later.
Sheffield hit back with first-period goals from Luke Ferrara and Ben O'Connor to move in front.
Mathieu Roy made it 3-1 in the second period and Colton Fretter sealed victory with 71 seconds left.
The Giants started the game three points behind leaders Cardiff Devils and they took the lead midway through the first period.
Higgins shot past Ervins Mustokovs as the Giants exploited a power-play after the Steelers keeper had incurred a delay of game penalty.
But the visitors then stunned the Giants with two goals in the space of 35 seconds in the last minute of the period - Ferrera scoring the equaliser and O'Connor smashing home the go-ahead goal.
The Steelers were a much stronger proposition in the second period and extended their lead when Roy slammed the puck home in the 31st minute of the match.
Tempers flared before the end of the period as Giants captain Adam Keefe fought with Sheffield's Zack Fitzgerald, the former being ejected from the game after much discussion between the officials and player.
The Giants came back strongly in the third period as they tried to get a foothold back in the match but they were caught out as they chased the game.
With Belfast keeper Stephen Murphy pulled, the Steelers applied the coup de grace, Colton Fretter with the 'empty net' goal.
The second-placed Giants are five points ahead of the Steelers in the table but Sheffield still have three games in hand.


Chinese hackers have accessed designs for more than two dozen US weapons systems, a US newspaper has reported.

Designs for combat aircraft, ships and missile defences were among those compromised, a Pentagon paper found, the Washington Post reported.
A public version of the same Defense Science Board report said in January that the US was unprepared for a full-scale cyber attack.
A Pentagon spokesman said "intrusions" had not eroded its technological edge.
The Defense Science Board did not return requests for comment from the BBC.
The Washington Post report comes as Australia discloses Chinese hackers stole floor plans for the new headquarters of its domestic intelligence agency.
The compromised US designs include those for advanced Patriot missile systems called PAC-3, an Army anti-missile system known as Thaad, and the Navy's Aegis ballistic-missile defence system, according to the Washington Post.
The F/A-18 fighter jet, V-22 Osprey aircraft, Black Hawk helicopter and the Navy's new Littoral Combat Ship were also compromised.
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the most expensive weapons system ever built, was also cited on the list.
The reports do not describe the extent of the theft, but correspondents say the hack could give China information that could be used against the US in the event of a conflict.
In a statement, US defence department spokesman George Little said the Pentagon maintained "full confidence in our weapons platforms".
"The Department of Defense takes the threat of cyber espionage and cyber security very seriously, which is why we have taken a number of steps to increase funding to strengthen our capabilities," he said.
"Suggestions that cyber intrusions have somehow led to the erosion of our capabilities or technological edge are incorrect."
