Next Silksworth boss must be right for the club – Cole
Outgoing Silksworth CW manager Jamie Cole believes patience will be shown as the club search for his successor between now and the end of the season.
Cole will fully focus on his role as club secretary next season, but will remain in charge for the remainder of the current campaign.
Ahead of Saturday’s home game with Durham United, he stressed the next appointment in the dugout will be focused on ‘doing what is right for the club’.
He said: “We have already had a lot of interest in the job, but we are in no rush to jump at it because we have plenty of time.
“We have got to get it right for whoever comes in and for the club because a fresh approach and fresh ideas will do us good. It’s all about doing what is right for the club.”
Cole has confirmed he has a full squad available for Saturday’s game.
