The
former Ossett Albion boss, who also had a spell with Liversedge in the NCEL
Premier Division, brings a wide range of experience having been at the helm of
clubs between Steps 4 and 6 of the FA's National League System.
He
has also had success with professional youth teams at Bradford City, Leeds
United and Huddersfield Town as well as with Sherburn White Rose in the feeder
leagues.
Humber
will hope his arrival will signal a reversal of fortune and a move up the
Division One table, although Haley will now be under no illusions as to what
needs to be done after his first game in charge on Saturday ended with a 7-1
loss at Harrogate Railway Athletic.
That
defeat sees the side drop into the bottom two.
Haley's
appointment was announced prior to the game, with the club announcing on https://fchumberunited.co.uk:
"We welcome Dave in joining FC Humber United as first-team manager, thus
offering a fresh and vibrant outlook on the management of the club.
"A
UEFA A-Licensed Coach, Dave brings with him a wealth of experience and
knowledge from his twenty plus years in the sport and we feel Dave identifies
as the ideal candidate moving forward in leading FC Humber United.
"Breaking
down his coaching style, four key principles were identified; how we play out
from the back, defending in the fight zone, our transition game and re-active
pressing in the final third.
"Within
the playing style, all Dave asks of his players is to be brave; get on the ball
in possession and work very hard out of possession.
"With
the recent additions implemented, the club very much look forward to working
alongside Dave and feel strongly that his methods and approach align with that
of the club". |
