After Sol Campbell left his role as first team manager of Macclesfield Town yesterday afternoon, we’ve taken a look at who are favourites for the job at Moss Rose.
He had eight months with the Silkmen and successfully leading them to safety last season, now they have mutually agreed to part ways with the club 8th in the League Two table.
The side has suffered off-field financial problems with players revealing they considered boycotting the final game of last season in protest about unpaid wages after they were paid late for three consecutive months.
They claim that they will make a further announcement on appointing a new coach as soon as possible.
Take a look at who are the top six favourites below and on the next page.
6) STEVE DAVIS
Steve Davis was last manager of Leyton Orient back in 2017, though after the club won just five of their 19 league matches, he was sacked on 14 November 2017.
He also managed Crewe Alexandra where he won the 2011/12 League Two playoffs and Football League Trophy in 2012/13.
Davis led Nantwich to two promotions in three seasons and a FA Vase victory, just missing out on promotion to the Conference North at the end of the 2008–09 season.
His first job was player-manager of Northwich Victoria, but he resigned.
