SOUTHPORT have started their search for a new manager after Paul Carden departed the club by mutual consent.
The 36-year-old left on Monday morning following Saturday’s 4-0 home defeat to Cheltenham Town, a result that left them 22nd in the National League and five points from safety.
Carden took charge of the Sandgrounders following Gary Brabin’s decision to join Everton as a coach in January, stepping up from his role as assistant to become first team manager.
He signed a new deal in the summer after keeping Southport in Non-League‘s top tier last season but his squad have been unable to find any real consistency this term.
A club statement read: “Paul Carden has left Southport Football Club by mutual consent this morning (Monday).
