After falling seven points short of the bottom of the table thanks to Friday’s thrashing by Huddersfield Town, League One strugglers Port Vale have fired manager Darren Moore.
The Terriers’ 5-0 defeat by Vale by a score of 5-5 was their seventh straight loss to the Terriers, which gave them 10 safety points after 21 games.
Since defeating Barnsley at Oakwell on September 27, 2012, the Valiants have won just 12 league games.
We haven’t taken this lightly, but we think now is the right time to change, according to a club statement.
However, Vale was relegated to League Two after only two victories in the 17 remaining games that season.
Even though Moore rebuilt the club after finishing second in League Two last term, life has been difficult for those who are still in the third tier.
Three victories on the spin in September against Exeter, Mansfield, and the Tykes gave rise to a revival after failing to win any of their first seven league games.
Moore expressed regret over the way things turned out this season.
He said it has been a real honor to lead Port Vale and to play for such a spirited football team.
“I want to thank the players, staff, and supporters for their support during my time at Vale Park,” I said. “Earning promotion in our first season gave me memories that I will always cherish.
A recruitment process will now begin, according to the club, and a decision will be made in due course.
