A poor run results in the manager of the former West Ham, Portsmouth, and Everton player being fired.
A former West Ham star has been dismissed of his duties just nine games into the new season.
The manager of the ex-player for West Ham, Portsmouth, and Everton is fired as a result of a dismal run.
Just nine games into the new season, a former West Ham star has been relieved of his duties.
David Unsworth, a former player for Everton, West Ham, and Aston Villa, lost his job at Oldham after an underwhelming start to the year. Oldham made the announcement and stated that the 2023–24 season has “not met expectations” thus far.
According to a statement from Oldham, “the start of the current campaign has sadly not reached the expectations of the club. This is despite a great conclusion to the 2022–23 season, a sizeable investment in the playing budget, and several extremely promising acquisitions during the summer.
“Since the Rothwell family acquired ownership of Oldham Athletic in July 2022, one of their guiding philosophies has been to refrain from managing the club’s day-to-day football operations while ensuring stability for the club’s long-term existence.
”
“David signed for three seasons to bring stability to the playing front, but despite David and his coaching staff’s diligence and hard work, results have not been successful on the field.”
Unsworth began his first permanent position in football management on September 20, 2022, at National League team Oldham Athletic, but it was terminated on September 17, 2023, following a seven-game losing streak.
Unsworth is credited with helping the Latics finish in 12th place last season while he was still at Oldham, but the club claims that despite a large increase in the playing budget, he has fallen short of expectations this time around.
