The
club have congratulated Corr on being offered the position with the U`s, newly
promoted from league Two, and have thanked him for all his time and efforts in
what was a very entertaining and successful spell in charge.
The
Saints were sitting in second place in the table and reached the Second Round
of the Buildbase FA Trophy before the season was sadly cut short due to
COVID-19.
As
Corr departs, Peter Gill has been appointed as his replacement and will be
assisted by Sean Greygoose.
Ironically,
Gill joins St Neots from Cambridge United, where he holds the position of head
of coaching and will combine this job with taking the reins at The Premier Plus
Stadium, just as Corr did before him.
Starting
out at Leyton Orient, Gill spent almost one year as head football coach in
their college education programme and progressed in the roles of youth development
phase age group and lead coach and professional development phase coach (under-18
coach).
Next
was a spell at Barnet and the role of academy manager and then onto Cambridge
United in May 2020.
Whilst
at Barnet, Gill also spent time as coach at Vanarama National League South side
Hemel Hempstead Town.
Gill
told the club`s website: “I am delighted to be given the opportunity by Lee
Kearns and the Board of Directors to manage this football club and I look forward
to carrying on the great work done by Barry Corr over the last year or so.
“In
recent seasons St. Neots Town have been very well known for their attacking
style of play and that is something the coaching staff and I wish to continue.
“It
is a great time to take over what with the impending expected return of the
Saints fans in pre-season and I look forward to meeting you all very soon”. |
