Weymouth cause a stir with the latest appointment of their new manager

Weymouth have managed to cause quite a stir on social media with the latest appointment of their new manager in Warren Feeney.

The Terras say they are confident that Feeney is the right individual to enhance the club’s prospects for survival in the National League South.

Feeney comes in to replace Mark Molesey, who departed from his position earlier this month. But they finds itself in a challenging situation, currently at the bottom of the table with only 12 points from 20 matches.

Chairman Paul Maitland states their commitment to achieving success sustainably and noted that Feeney emerged as the top candidate after a thorough three-week interview process.

We are delighted to confirm the appointment of Ex-Northern Ireland international, Warren Feeney, as our new first team manager.

Welcome Weymouth, Warren. https://t.co/UdKCqeMWvd

SIGNED ✍️

Over the moon to get this done for client and friend Warren Feeney.

He has a proven track record of getting results under against all odds circumstances and I have no doubts that Weymouth will still be a National League South club next season.

Best of luck Feeno https://t.co/GyeZCXla7R

Weymouth said in a statement: After a thorough selection process, we are delighted to announce that Warren Feeney has been appointed as the Weymouth Football Club First Team manager, effective immediately.

Warren will conduct his first training session with the squad this week.

We received over 25 applications and interviewed 6 candidates for the role. The board was overwhelmingly in favour of appointing Warren, and we are excited to have him join us. The high standard and quality of applicants is a testament to the club’s appeal, and we wish Warren every success.

Our primary mission is to remain in the National League South, and the board will support Warren in every possible way to achieve this goal. Looking beyond survival, our medium-term objective is for Weymouth Football Club to once again compete for league titles and push for promotion.

However, we are committed to achieving success sustainably.

Best regards,

Paul
Chairman
