Northwich Victoria have this evening announced that Manager Steve Wilkes will be leaving the club after their game against Burscough this coming Saturday. Wilkes has been in charge of the club since late 2017 and overseen a period of stability at the club that has seen them have good runs in the FA Vase and NWCFL Cup competitions.
In a statement on the Clubs Social Media channels, Wilkes says "After nearly six seasons as Manager of Northwich Victoria I have decided to step down and resign as Manager after Saturday's game at Burscough. This has been the hardest decision I have ever made in football, but I don't feel I can take the club to the next step, which ultimately is promotion."
Steve's statement also adds that the 90 minute travel from his home to home games leading to late nights and early starts are taking their toll. He also adds that he has not been approached by any other club. The full statement can be read on the NVFC Social Media channels.
