Warnock signs off

- RICHARD LEWIS

NEIL WARNOCK has brought the curtain down on his amazing managerial career.

The 73-year-old announced his retirement on Sky Sports Soccer Saturday yesterday, five months after leaving Middlesbro­ugh by mutual consent.

Warnock, in charge of 16 different clubs in a 42-year career, said: “It’s hard to replicate the final whistle when you’ve won a game, there’s nothing quite like that in normal life.

“I’m not saying the enthusiasm has gone – I’ve not lost that – but there comes a time where you have to let your family enjoy a little bit more of you.”
