Peter Beadle and his side at Wembley for the FA Vase final in 2016
According to the Non-League Paper, former Hereford manager Pete Beadle is understood to be interested in a a remarkable return to the club.
The article leads with ex-Bath City boss Jerry Gill being a leading contender. Mark Cooper - who was previously at Yeovil having manager Forest Green - is also mentioned mentioned, as well as Andy Whing, who went on to manage Banbury, Solihull and Barrow after being Russell Slade's assistant at Hereford.
However, the NLP also say that Beadle is also interested in a director of football style role at the club.
Beadle was first in charge of the youth team at Edgar Street before becoming Hereford United's first team manager at the end of the 2013/14 season when Martin Foyle was sacked.
Featuring players like Jarrod Bowen, Beadle kept the Bulls up in the Conference thanks to a memorable final day win at Aldershot. However, off-field issues led to the club being thrown out of the league, and they started the following season in the Southern Premier.
Further turmoil ensued and Hereford were wound up in the High Court in December 2014.
Beadle would return to the club the following summer when Hereford FC was formed. In his first season, he led the club to a historic treble, including a first trip to Wembley for the club. That was a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Morpeth, with many Bulls fans still perplexed why he didn't start Mustapha Bundu and John Mills.
Under Beadle's stewardship, Hereford went on to gain two more titles to earn promotion to National League North in 2018, where they've remained to this day.
At the start of that season (2018/19), the Bulls claimed 10 points out of their opening four games. However, three defeats in their next four - followed by a County Cup loss to Westfields - saw Beadle axed.
Beadle would remain out of the game for two years before he joined former club Barnet shortly before the start of the 2020/21 season.
However, his tenure would only last four months. Since then, Beadle has managed in the lower leagues, first at Yate between May and October 2022, then at Shortwood, where he has been since last September.
Beadle has been approached regarding his reported interest in Hereford.
