Sampson
leaves the club in a comfortable position, sixth place in the table, having won
five of their first nine games.
Last
season, Newport finished seventh but were denied a chance to climb further up
the table due to Covid-19.
A
spokesperson for the club said: "Unfortunately, Andy feels he cannot
continue to give the role the time and effort he rightly believes it requires,
due to other commitments.
"Everyone
at Newport would like to place on record their thanks to Andy for the work he
has done over the past two and a half years in assembling the current squad of
players.
"We
wish Andy the very best and look forward to seeing him at some of our upcoming
matches this season".
Assistant
managers Stewart Shepherd and Steve Brougham will move up to take over the
running of the first team squad as joint managers with immediate effect. |
