Chester City are looking for a new manager following news that co-managers Anthony Johnson and Bernard Morley have left the club. Chester are 16th in the National North League.
Last Saturday they played Hereford at Edgar Street and lost 1-0.
This from Chester:
Chester Football Club can confirm that the club has parted company with co-managers Anthony Johnson and Bernard Morley.
Having been appointed in May 2018, Anthony and Bernard depart the Deva Stadium after three-and-a-half-years in charge and with our very best wishes.
We want to place on record our appreciation for their significant contribution on and off the field in that time, and for immersing themselves in our unique football club.
The pair arrived following relegation from the National League in 2017/18 and worked tirelessly to rebuild the team while also helping to re-energise our fan base.
They guided the Blues to a 9th place finish in their first campaign, just three points off the National League North play-off places.
In 2019/20 the Blues finished 6th on points-per-game after the season was curtailed and were edged out in a play-off eliminator at Altrincham, and last season sat third in the table before the season was declared null and void in January.
Unfortunately results and performances this season have not met expectations and we feel now is the right time to make a change to give us the best possible chance of improving our league position.
Danny Livesey, who is a UEFA B licenced coach, will take charge of the team for our upcoming fixtures and our collective focus now is on preparing for Saturday’s FA Trophy tie at Curzon Ashton.
