West Auckland are looking for another manager following the resignation of Andy Toman.
The former Darlington and Hartlepool midfielder took over as interim manager from Anth Smith a month ago when the former Gateshead boss quit and eventually went to Spennymoor as Jason Ainsley’s assistant. At that point, Toman was the club’s fourth manager of the season following Peter Dixon and another caretaker, Steve Skinner. However, he quit after league leaders West lost 3-0 at home to Newton Aycliffe on Tuesday night.
West general manager Stuart Alderson said; “Andy has resigned because he felt it was difficult to stamp his authority on the players because he was an interim manager. We’re hoping to appoint a new manager next week, which we were planning to do anyway.”
Alderson, along with senior player Brian Close, will be in charge of the team for Saturday’s Durham Challenge Cup tie at Easington.
