Lido change it's management structure

The official Afan Lido website can bring the exclusive news on the change in its managerial structure.

The move sees Mark Robinson 'move upstairs' to the general manager position.

The first team will now be managed by former player/coach Phil Holmes, assisted by former club captain Paul Evans. Stephen Llewellyn will be retained as first-team coach, with Doug Mallon as physio.
 

Mark Robinson will now be responsible for overseeing each team at the club, from senior to youth level.

It is hoped that the move will return Afan Lido to its roots, consistently producing quality players from the youth sections into the senior teams.

This has already begun to bear fruit, with the club handing first team debuts to Daniel Williams, Corey Thomas, Thomas Edwards and Scott Bamsey in recent weeks, all products of the club's youth system.

First-team manager Phil Holmes said: "We are looking to the future. This season has been a difficult one, but by giving the youngsters experience now, it will help us build for next season."

Mark Robinson added: "It is important that the progress of the youth teams is monitored carefully, so that their developments can also be of benefit to the
progress of Afan Lido football club."
