Manager Bryan Hughes leaves Wrexham Football Club

Wrexham Football Club have parted ways with manager Bryan Hughes.

Hughes made 97 appearances for the reds back in the mid 90’s, and returned earlier this year as surprise appointment as manager. Hughes was signed as manager on the 6th February on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

The day before Hughes was appointed Graham Barrow had resigned as manager, himself only being appointed on a 2.5 year deal in December and leaving after just 50 days.

The managerial position has been a changeable one, with Sam Ricketts slithering to Shrewsbury Town in December, and Dean Keates leaving ten months before that.

In a late night statement the club said “Wrexham AFC can confirm that further discussions between Bryan Hughes and the board have taken place and following those discussions all parties decided that a change was needed. The outcome is that Bryan has left his position of First Team Manager with immediate effect.”

Noting “the club currently finds itself at the wrong end of the table and without a win in eight league games“.

On the 16th the club issued a vote of confidence style statement, which in footballing terms is often prefaced with the words ‘the dreaded’, where the club said “has the full backing of the players, club staff, the WST and Football Club boards to turn around our current situation”, and true to tradition the manager has left shortly after.
