City Old Boy Out Of Newport

Last updated : 01 October 2015 By CNS Staff/AO

Former Coventry City player/manager Terry Butcher has been sacked as manager of Newport County.

Newport have said in a statement: "The club can announce that manager Terry Butcher has today left the club with immediate effect.

The former England international was announced as County manager back in April 2015, succeeding Jimmy Dack, who had held the position since the departure of Justin Edinburgh.

It has been a difficult start to the season with the team only managing one win out of ten league games, and as a result we find ourselves bottom of the league.

In addition to Terry's departure, Russell Osman (Assistant Manager) and Steve Marsella (Chief Scout) have also left the club.

Newport County AFC would like to thank Terry and his staff for their efforts during their time at the club, and wish them every success for the future."
