York City axe manager David Webb after four defeats on spin

York City are looking for their third manager of the season after relieving David Webb of his duties just two months into the job and on the back of four defeats on the spin.

Webb took the reins in December after John Askey, who got the club promoted from National League North last season, was controversially sacked having fallen out with chairman Glen Henderson.

Tuesday night’s 3-2 defeat to Solihull Moors leaves the Minstermen 18th in the National League table, just four points above the drop zone and the club confirmed Webb’s departure less than 24 hours later.

A club statement read: “York City FC can confirm that first-team manager David Webb has been relieved of his duties with immediate effect.

“We would like to thank David for his efforts over the last few months and wish him all the best for the future.

“The club has commenced its search for a new manager, and we will bring further communication on who will take interim charge in due course.”
