Fans were left shocked on Monday evening as manager Mark Bradshaw part ways with National League North club Curzon Ashton.
He was appointed back in November 2018, but prior to then, had been with the club for over a decade as head coach, being a vital part of the junior, youth and first-team set up.
He’s guided the Nash to two 18th place finishes, picking up 34 points from 33 games in the 2019/20 season and 49 points from 42 games come the end of the the 2018/19 season.
Tonight we have parted ways with manager Mark Bradshaw.
A full update will be given in due course.
