In a shocking turn of events in the world of football, Yeovil Town manager Danny Webb has left the club after just one match in charge of their first team in the National League in England. It is understood that the 42-year-old tendered his resignation from the job on Monday, September 22, citing personal and family reasons, becoming the manager with the shortest amount of time in charge in the club’s history.
Notably, Danny Webb became the manager of Yeovil Town earlier this month after they had sacked Mark Cooper from the job following a tough start to the 24-team National League 2025-26 season. In his only outing as the first team manager, Danny Webb oversaw Yeovil Town’s 1-0 defeat in the league to Tamworth at the Lamb Ground two days ago,
to find themselves in 17th position in the standings with 10 points after earning just three wins in 10 matches.
Danny Webb has expressed his personal sadness in having to leave the club: Yeovil Town
With the departure of Danny Webb, Yeovil Town decided to promote coach Richard Dryden to the role of the first team manager for the rest of the season after he had fulfilled the responsibility in the interim recently. In their official statement on the website about the latest development, the club said, “He (Danny Webb) has expressed his personal sadness in having to leave the club but feels this is the right decision for him and his family.”
“The time and the nature of this decision is met with disappointment from all of us and we have accepted his resignation with regret, but with understanding,” Yeovil Town statement added. The Huish Park faithfuls will now have to undergo yet another period of uncertainty at the club, and it won’t be easy especially when the results aren’t quite going their way either in the National League in England.
