Port Vale: Academy coaching trio take interim charge at League One club after Andy Crosby sacking
- Published
Port Vale won promotion from League Two in 2022 and finished 18th in the third tier last season
Port Vale have put academy coaches Will Ryder, Matt Done and Danny Lloyd in charge of the first team on an interim basis following Andy Crosby's sacking.
Vale parted company with Crosby on Monday after just 10 months as head coach, following a run of only one win in eight matches.
David Dunn, who was first-team coach under Crosby, has also left the club.
Ryder, Done and Lloyd will take charge for the first time for Tuesday's home game against Leyton Orient.
Vale are 20th in League One, just two points clear of the relegation places, after Saturday's 3-0 defeat at fellow strugglers Fleetwood Town, which proved to be Crosby's final game in the dugout.
"I'd like to thank Will, Matt and Danny for assisting with first-team operations in this short period whilst we search for a permanent Port Vale manager," said director of football David Flitcroft.
"As a club, we are determined for the new appointment to match our long-standing values and long-term ambitions and will ensure the correct recruitment processes are followed throughout."
