Club Statement
The Board of Hyde United can announce we have reluctantly received the resignation of First Team Manager Nick Spooner with immediate effect.
This news came as a shock to the board and Nick wanted to express his gratitude for being given the opportunity to manage the club in his first senior management role.
Also leaving the club with immediate effect is First Team Coach Gavin McCann.
Nick joined the club in February 2022 and successfully saved the Tigers from relegation before embarking on two successive seasons with sixth place finishes, narrowly missing out on the play offs on both occasions.
Under Nick’s tenure we lifted our first Cheshire Senior Cup title for twenty-seven years in 2024 with the memorable victory over Crewe Alexandra and also reached two Manchester Premier Cup Finals.
Nick wished to comment “It’s been an absolute privilege to manage this football club over the last number of years. I’ve appreciated all the backing from the board and the supporters from the first minute. We have had some great times however; it’s the right moment for me to step back and give the opportunity to someone else to take the team forward. I wish everyone at the football club all the best”.
The club regret that their tenure here has come to an end and would like to thank Nick and Gavin for all of their hard work over the past three and a half years and wish them all the best for the future in whatever comes next. They will always be welcomed back at the Project Solar Stadium.
In the interim, the First Team will be led by Martin Coyne, Chris Shaw, and First Team captain Jack Redshaw.
