Young quits Robins
NEIL Young has resigned as Altrincham boss after just four months in charge.
The former Stockport County manager made his decision after the National League North side’s 4-2 home defeat against Curzon Ashton on Saturday – their third loss in a row.
Young has also announced his retirement from football management.
Alan Goodall, Jake Moult and Shaun Densmore will take temporary charge of team affairs, starting at Kidderminster today, while a replacement is sought.
Young said: “I believe it’s in the best interest of myself and, more importantly, the football club that I step down with immediate affect, and I also believe it’s the right time to ultimately retire from the dug-out.”
