Willcock
was appointed in October 2018 following the departure of Mark Fell to NPL
Premier Division side Lancaster City.
He
made 31 appearances for the club as a player, scoring 17 goals between 2000 and
2002.
In
a statement, he said: “It is with strong emotions that I announce my decision
to resign as manager of Ramsbottom United. I am proud of the progression of the
team that I will leave behind. I have thoroughly enjoyed the last two half
years spent as manager and I am grateful for the opportunity that the chairman
gave me to manage a club that I had previously played for.
"During
the time that I have been at the club, it has been a rollercoaster of a ride
with some memorable moments and games that will forever be remembered. These
memories were only made possible through the hard work and perseverance of a
group of dedicated players and a supportive management team who have been truly
committed. I would also like to thank the fans and volunteers, alongside the
development team and juniors who have shown great support to myself throughout
my tenure”. |
