The
Reds missed out on the league title on the final day of the season after being
held to a draw by relegated Market Drayton Town.
They
then surrendered a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 at home to Marine AFC in the play-offs.
A
club statement on https://www.workingtonafc.com read: “Following a
disappointing end to an otherwise successful season, on and off the pitch, the
board have taken the decision not to renew the contract of Chris Willcock for
the 2022/23 season.
“This
was a difficult decision as the club narrowly missed out on automatic promotion
as league champions and promotion via the play-offs. However, we believe a
change in direction will give us the best chance of reaching this target next
season.
“The
Board would like to thank Chris and his family for their hard work and
commitment over the past 10 months and wish them every success in his next
football venture.
“The
search for a replacement begins immediately and we hope to have the new manager
in place in good time for the start of the new season”. |
