Search starts for new boss
WELLINGTON have begun the search for a new first-team manager after Leigh Robinson quit the job.
Robinson, who started his second spell in charge in the close season, resigned after the 2-1 home defeat by Barnstaple Town.
The result left Wellington rooted to the bottom of the premier division table with only one point from nine games.
“Leigh feels he has not been able to give the job his full commitment,” said club chairman Ken Bird.
“He has a busy working life and young family and has found, since returning to Wellington, that he does not have enough time to devote to football management.
“While obviously disappointed, we respect his decision and wish him all the best for the future.”
The Wellington management committee met last night to discuss potential successors and will also be advertising the position.
Mr Bird added: “While the league table obviously makes depressing reading, we must remember that six of our eight defeats have been by the odd goal.
“We have a talented squad of players and are certain we can turn things around with a new manager at the helm.”
Anyone interested in discussing the position can contact Mr Bird on 07872-567601.
