Hunt for new Tranmere boss begins
Micky Mellon was sacked over the weekend
Tranmere are looking for a new manager this morning, after Micky Mellon was sacked over the weekend.
It comes after Saturday's 3-1 defeat at home to Newport County, with the club 14th in the League Two table.
In a statement yesterday, Chairman Mark Palios said:
'From both a personal and a Club perspective this hasn’t been an easy decision. Micky has a special place in the hearts of Tranmere fans thanks to the back to back promotions in 2018 and 2019.
'Since he returned to the Club in 2021 after a year in Scotland, we haven’t managed to achieve the success we both wanted and I reluctantly came to the conclusion that a change was needed as we start recruitment preparations for next season.
'I would like to thank Micky for his contribution and efforts in both managerial stints at the Club.'
Ian Dawes has stepped in as caretaker manager assisted by Andy Parkinson whilst the club considers options in preparation for the new season.
