Nacho Novo, a Rangers fan, has confirmed his surprise resignation from USL League One club Lexington SC.
We reported in September that the Gers fan had landed his first managerial post in the United States after working as an assistant coach and under-23s manager in Germany. But, just four weeks later, the 44-year-old has decided to resign as head coach. “Well today I said bye to Lexington,” he said on Instagram. It was a successful season. Thank you to all of the supporters and players. “Best wishes for the upcoming season.”
Ibrox favourite Novo took over the reins from close pal Sam Stockley, who stepped aside to concentrate on the role of sporting director. However, the little Spaniard failed to win any of his five games in charge – losing two and drawing three.
He took over the American third-tier outfit when they were ninth in the 12-team league, and that’s where the Kentucky-based club finished the campaign.
Sharing an image of him celebrating a goal from his Rangers playing days, Novo added: “Thanks everyone for your support. I will be back.”
