Newport County are on the hunt for their fourth manager in little over two years, with Christian Fuchs leaving his post as manager just seven months into his tenure. The former Austria defender joined the Exiles last November to replace sacked David Hughes and helped the club avoid relegation from League Two on the final day of the season.
However, Fuchs has now decided to step down on the eve of pre-season, leaving Chairman Huw Jenkins searching for a new boss. The players are due to return for training on Monday ahead of the 2026-27 campaign, which kicks off with a Carabao Cup game against AFC Wimbledon.
Newport have made six signings in preparation for the new season but have also lost key figures Bobby Kamwa and Matt Baker at the end of their contracts. It is the third consecutive summer that there has been a managerial change at Rodney Parade, leaving fans wondering what the future holds for the League Two club.
