In a statement released today, the club cited a sustained downturn in results and performances as the primary reason behind the decision. The board acknowledged the difficulty of the move but stressed that change was necessary to protect the club’s short- and long-term ambitions.
Simon Weaver leaves having played a hugely significant role in Harrogate Town’s modern history, overseeing some of the most successful chapters the club has ever experienced. His contribution to the club’s rise and stability in recent years was recognised and thanked by the board.
A club statement read:
This has been an extremely tough decision. Simon has given everything to Harrogate Town and will always be remembered for what he achieved here. However, recent results have not been at the level required, and the board believes a new direction is needed.”
Harrogate Town confirmed that a caretaker coaching staff will take charge of first-team duties while the process of appointing a new head coach begins.
