Boro boss leaves after just two weeks at the helm

NUNEATON Borough’s boss has left the club after a reign of just two games.

It has been announced that Lee Fowler, who only took over as manager on Thursday, November 22, has left the club by “mutual consent”.

Fowler had only been in the hot seat for two weeks and that included two matches; a 3-0 FA Trophy defeat away to Brackley Town and a 3-1 home defeat to Blyth Spartans in the league.

But the club says it expects to announce a new manager ahead of the trip to Darlington tomorrow.

Chairman Nick Hawkins said: “We were hoping for an immediate lift when Lee took over as manager, unfortunately, despite his best efforts, it hasn’t happened.

“He’s a great motivator, a very good coach and has been a pleasure to work with day in, day out. He’s a fantastic individual and will be a great asset for whichever club he goes to next.”

He added: “On behalf of the club we wish Lee every success in his future, he has a lot to offer and I know he’ll bounce back from this.

“We all know how difficult a task it has been here and people have seen his effort and application, that he doesn’t fold under pressure and that, whatever the circumstance, he just knuckles down and gets on with things.

“In the right conditions he’ll thrive, we’re very disappointed to be losing him.”

Lee Fowler took over as manager from Nicky Eaden, who he had been assistant to since the summer.
