Kidderminster Harriers: Phil Brown and Neil McDonald depart
The Head Coach and the Assistant Head Coach have left 'with immediate effect'
The Head Coach and the Assistant Head Coach of the Kidderminster Harriers have left the club 'with immediate effect'.
Phil Brown and Neil McDonald's departure follows disappointment at the end of their latest campaign in the National League North.
They were beaten 2-1 against Chester on Sunday in the play-off semi-final.
Brown won six of his first eight matches in charge in his first season with the club, but that still led to their relegation at the end of the 2023/4 campaign.
He and McDonald both signed new two-year contracts, though, and it was only in March when he won the National League North Manager of the Month.
In a statement shared on their website, club Chairman Richard Lane said: “Whilst we came very close to achieving our goal, the outcome of the season ultimately proved bitterly disappointing.
“We remain firmly focused on our primary objective for the club, which is returning to the National League, we feel now is the right time to make changes before embarking our future campaign.
“I would personally like to thank both Phil and Neil for their efforts during their time with Kidderminster Harriers and we wish them nothing but the best for the future and their next challenge.
“The process of appointing a new manager is already underway and we hope to update our loyal supporters on that soon.”
