Former Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday boss is the front-runner to lead Oldham Athletic in the National League.
Stephen Clemence, a former coach of Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday, is the front-runner to lead Oldham in the National League.
David Unsworth recently parted ways with the fifth-tier team after a seven-game losing streak.
Oldham Athletic said that it had parted ways with David Unsworth after he had been the first-team manager for a year in a statement.
The start of the current campaign has regrettably fallen short of the club’s hopes following a great finish to the 2022–2023 season, a large investment in the playing budget, and several extremely promising additions 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 on the playing front, but despite the hard work and dedication of David and his coaching team, results have not worked out on the pitch.
“The board wishes David and his assistant, John Ebbrell, all the best for the future as they pursue their careers in club management. Unfortunately, on this occasion, it has not worked out as well as we all expected.”
Clemence is now the BetVictor favourite to take the reins at 4/5, sitting ahead of ex-Port Vale boss Darrell Clarke.
A former England youth international in his playing days, Clemence worked at both Hull and Wednesday as a coach alongside Steve Bruce.
Leam Richardson is the third favourite at 4/1, while Micky Mellon has been given odds of 8/1.
Karl Robinson, who had a brief stint as a coach at Leeds United last season, is in the odds list at 10/1.
