01 Nov 2012 ACCRINGTON APPOINT RICHARDSON
Accrington Stanley have appointed Leam Richardson as their new manager.
He told the club website;
"It's a bit surreal to be honest," he said. "The conversations that we've had this week have gone really well and I'd like to thank the Chairman Peter Marsden and Rob Heys, the Board, the players, all of the staff and of course the fans for giving me this opportunity.
"This is fantastic and I'd like to think I could repay everyone with hard work and get some success at the club."
“As soon as Paul made the decision to leave Leam was always our first choice to make the step up and take over as the manager," explained Managing Director Rob Heys.
"Over the last eight months as Paul’s assistant he has demonstrated all the qualities that we were looking for and I have no doubt that he will do a great job in his new role.”
