Christian Fuchs: Former boss reluctantly quit Newport County after securing survival

Fuchs has been succeeded by former Fulham U21’s boss Hayden Mullins, who will lead Newport into their season opener at home to Rochdale on Saturday (12:30 BST).

They will be hoping to avoid yet another relegation struggle this campaign, having secured a great escape on the final day of the past season.

The club looked to former Premier League winner Fuchs in November when they were bottom of the table, having only won three of 16 league games under David Hughes.

“To go from where we started to securing safety, with 12 wins along the way, is something I’ll always look back on with pride. It was a team effort in every sense,” said Fuchs.

“I leave knowing we achieved our main objective and with complete belief that the club has a strong foundation to build on.

“As for me, I am excited for whatever comes next. I will take the experiences, memories, and lessons from Newport with me, and I look forward to getting back on the training pitch and into the dugout when the right opportunity comes along.”

Speaking shortly after Fuchs’ departure Newport chairman Huw Jenkins told the BBC he was both “surprised” and “disappointed” at the former Leicester City defender’s decision.

Jenkins did not elaborate on the reasons for the Austrian’s sudden exit, saying only: “You’ll have to speak to him, really, to get any more detail on that.”
