Kendal Town Search For New Manager After David Foster Departure

KENDAL TOWN have begun the search for a new manager after parting company with David Foster on Wednesday morning.

The Mintcakes are yet to win a game in the Evo-Stik NPL Division One North so far this season, picking up just four points from seven games.

Foster, a former Kendal striker, reserve team boss and assistant manager, took charge last December but has left after a poor run of results.

Assistant Michael Stringfellow will act as caretaker manager as the club seek a new permanent boss at the Northgate Vehicle Hire Stadium.

A statement read: “Kendal Town are sorry to announce that David Foster has stepped down as manager by mutual consent with immediate effect.

“Kendal Town FC would like to pay tribute to David Foster’s hard work on and off the pitch as a player, coach and manager over an extended period.

“Michael Stringfellow has been appointed as caretaker manager with a view to making a permanent appointment later next week.

“Applications are invited from managers for this opportunity to take forward an experienced squad with a realistic budget at an ambitious, members led and community focused club. Ideally, the applicant will be experienced within the Northern Premier or North West Counties leagues.”
