Manager's contract terminated

Date published: 21 January 2013


Rochdale AFC has today terminated the contract of the Manager John Coleman and Assistant Manager Jimmy Bell.

Chairman Christopher Dunphy stated the regrettable decision has been made following the Club’s recent run of poor form and added: "This decision was not taken lightly and has been made following extensive discussions at board level.

"The Club would like to thank both John and Jimmy for all their hard work and endeavours over the last 12 months and would like to wish them well for the future."

The Club hope to name their replacement before the team travels to Cheltenham for their next League match on Friday evening.
