Former Yeovil Town manager Danny Webb has spoken for the first time after his departure from Huish Park after just 11 days in charge.
He spoke to the Derbyshire Times and honestly he did not really say a great deal more than came out in the announcement which came out with his shock departure which was followed swiftly by a return to his old job as assistant manager at Chesterfield.
Webb said: “I think the statement said it all – personal reasons. Football, non-football, that is not my place to divulge. As the statement has gone out, it would not be fair on either party to say any more on that. But when the opportunity did arise after leaving to return to my previous role it would have been mad to turn it down. I wish them all the best as a football club. There are some really good people in charge down there.
“There will be things that I have learnt from my own development, whether personal or career, and that has got to be a positive what I take away from the experience.”
It took just ten days after the announcement of his departure from Yeovil on September 22nd for Webb to be reinstalled as number two to Paul Cook at Chesterfield, the club he had spent four-and-a-half years with before his brief spell away.
Asked whether he believed he would return to frontline management again, he told the Derbyshire Times: “You never rule it out. It was not something that I thought ‘I have to go and do this now’ before an opportunity came up. At the time it felt like the right thing to do. What I would say now I am back in my previous role is that my focus is solely on assisting Paul Cook and the staff to get us back up the right end of that league.”
That is probably as much as we are ever going to find out about the reasons behind Webb’s departure, so we wish Danny all the best with whatever happens next in his career. Good luck, Danny, and thanks for bringing Andrew Oluwabori!
