Glover
has been at Westfields for 11 years where he has served as a player and captain
and was skipper of the club who guided them through the eight FA Cup matches to
earn them national acclaim in 2016/17 with their giantkilling run to the First
Round.
Last
season Glover was assistant to manager Andy Bevan and immediately applied for
the job when it became available when Bevan resigned last month.
Chief
executive Andy Morris told http://www.westfieldsfc.com: “The selection
committee, following the interview with Phil Glover, felt it was an excellent
way of having continuity within the club in promoting Phil from assistant-manager
to manager.
“He
will also have the added advantage of working with Paul Willetts who was also
involved with the management structure last year and has agreed to remain with
the club.
“Phil
Glover was an inspirational player and last season developed very well in the management
structure under Andy Bevan and working with Paul Willetts.
“Phil
is a good leader, good communicator and knows all about non-league football,
particularly at FA Cup, FA Vase and Step 5 and we see him as the person to
drive us forward with the new challenge of Hellenic League football”.
