Everton appoint Brabin to coaching staff
Everton have appointed Southport manager Gary Brabin to the coaching staff at Finch Farm. Brabin leaves his post immediately and becomes part of the Everton under 21 coaching team.
Southport FC chairman Charlie Clapham said: “We gave Gary a manager’s post after a couple of years out of the game.
“It is a compliment to both Gary and Southport FC that Everton want our manager for such a prestigious role.
“It’s Gary’s lifelong ambition to be part of Everton Football Club and sometimes in life things happen when you are not expecting them to.
“I would not want to stop Gary achieving his ambition and genuinely wish him all the best.
“Gary made an immediate impact here and I want to thank him for that and our FA Cup run culminating at Derby County.
“Paul Carden now has the task of building on Gary’s foundations over the last four months and getting us to a safe position as quickly as possible.”
