Wilson
is probably best-known for his spell at Tooting & Mitcham United, before
joining Kingstonian as coach towards the end of last season.
Merstham
chairman Chris Chapman told https://www.mersthamfc.com:
"As
you might expect, we had some very high-quality applicants for the role, and it
certainly wasn't an easy decision. But in the end, we all felt Frank would be a
very good fit for us.
“As
a club, we want someone who embraces our values as a community club and is keen
to help develop our successful youth programme. Frank certainly ticked those
boxes for us. We also know we needed someone who has managed at this level
before and can quickly pull together a first-team squad that will be
competitive in a league that is very evenly balanced as we saw last season. We
look forward to working closely with Frank as we begin the next phase of our
journey."
Wilson
said: “I am thrilled to be appointed manager of Merstham. After sitting down
with the Board and understanding the club’s objectives, I knew this was a
fantastic opportunity at a club that is genuinely part of the community with a
great history and proud traditions.
“I
can’t wait to meet everyone connected with the club and get pre-season underway
at the end of June. The club made great strides under Hayden and I hope to continue
where he left off. I’m excited to be part of the next phase of the club’s
journey and I’m relishing the challenge of taking Merstham FC forward this
season. We are Merstham!” |
