It's obviously disappointing to lose, especially at home but I gave the main first-team guys a rest so it was to be expected against Chelsea, who are 3rd in the league.

Job done. We cruised into the Champions League final with a 4-1 win over Manchester United at Goodison Park. A date with Atletico Madrid in Paris awaits.

Despite the scoreline only being 1-0, we were never in any danger of not winning the game. Bristol City offered nothing really and it was a walk in the park for us.

I decided to rest the big guns for the last game of the league season. I felt like a rest would do them good before our two massive finals. The fringe players didn't let me down, easing to a 2-0 win over Newcastle at Goodison Park.

GET IN! TREBLE WINNERS! EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS! What a game, I don't think I've got any nails left. I thought we were going to blow it when we went a goal down but we battled back to lead, then Patrick Crooks got sent off. After that was perhaps the longest ten minutes of my life before we sealed it with the last kick of the game. I couldn't be happier right now.

Isaac Pereira is a great player don't get me wrong but for Wallim not to win this is quite frankly a travesty.

Forget signing of the season, signing of my managerial career. The guy has been lethal in front of goal!

Young Player of the Season

Again, he shouldn't have won this. Wallim deserved it more in my eyes.

This will come as a massive surprise to many but I've decided that now is the right time to step back and take a break from football. I've loved my time at Everton and I want to end it on the highest high as possible and winning the treble will never be topped.

b992edbb3288ecbdf9097fc4946ccc40.png


The board obviously wanted me to stay but my mind was made up. I plan to take a break over the course of the 2027/28 season, unless a job that really excites me happens to come up.
 
Didn't see that coming so quickly.

What type of job would tempt you back in?

How are Warrington getting on? did they win promotion back to the Championship?

Going Home!!

When I resigned, I said that I was taking a break unless a job came along that filled me with excitement. Other than the Tranmere job, there is no other job that fills me with excitement more than returning to Warrington Town. It feels like I'm finally home.

d1b7f5dc5f91a93b7110bb47b4e82170.png


I said it at the time but I'm absolutely honoured that they named their new stadium after me. It's going to be a dream come true to manage Warrington for the first time in the John Warrington Stadium.

eb609fb07f584681f624624c54918ebb.png


The facilities at the club are a lot better than when I left which is no surprise as they were in the process of renovations when I left. Hopefully, the board will continue to improve them.

beb898c7c402be3d2224f05303d18fe2.png


Warrington currently sit at the bottom of the Championship table having been promoted back to the Championship at the first attempt last season under Tony Mowbray. That said, the league is quite tight so a couple of good results would see us slowly climb up the table and towards where I want us to be.

8949dfcb265fbdc3052539b51ac6781f.png


Here's the reason why Warrington have been struggling so much this season. They've been playing a flat 3-5-2 under Tony Mowbray. I can tell you now that they will not be playing that under my leadership, instead, it'll be a 5-4-1 with wingbacks with 4-4-2 as a backup system.

My first game back as manager of Warrington ends with us beating Cardiff by three goals to two away from home. We made hard work of it, allowing them to score twice to give themselves hope but we held on for a superb three points.

We may have lost this game but I'm proud of the lads and their performance. Going away to the top of the league side is never easy and we gave them a game for quite a while, and that's with going down to ten just twenty minutes in and down to nine through an injury late on.
