NANTWICH TOWN’S caretaker manager Phil Staley has been forced to retire due to ill health.

Staley – the Dabbers’ assistant manager since February – was put in caretaker charge of the club last week following the departure of Jimmy Quinn.

However, bronchitis has seen him hand the role to club captain Darren Moss, and Staley says he will now cease all involvement in football.

Phil StaleySpeaking to the club’s website, he said: “Unfortunately, I will never be doing any more football now – I’m just too old.

“I would like to wish the very best to Nantwich Town, especially the club’s supporters, who are absolutely magnificent and deserve better than what they have seen in recent weeks.

“I just hope that the new management team appreciate the fans as much as I did during my short spell at the club.

“I won’t be making a return to coaching, but I hope to return to the Weaver Stadium as a supporter once my health improves.”
