Torquay United Sack Paul Wotton as Neil Warnock Takes Interim Charge

The decision follows a 5-0 home loss that capped a five-game slide to fourth place.

Overview

  • Torquay confirmed Wotton’s departure and said Neil Warnock will lead the team on Tuesday against Farnborough on a temporary basis.
  • The recent run featured a 5-0 defeat to Chelmsford City and has left the club 10 points behind leaders Dorking Wanderers after previously topping the table.
  • Injuries and illness disrupted selection for the Chelmsford match, with Callum Dolan, Jordan Dyer and Sam Dreyer out, Matt Worthington ruled out late, and Cody Cooke dislocating a shoulder.
  • The club signaled further updates on interim arrangements and is seeking a permanent manager with 13 league games remaining to secure a play-off push.
  • Wotton, appointed in May 2024 after the Bryn Consortium’s takeover, lifted Torquay to second last season and earned January’s Manager of the Month before results turned.
