Former Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town midfielder Tommy Miller has been sacked by non-league outfit South Shields
Miller had been working as Julio Arca’s assistant, but both have been fired by the National League North club. The decision was made in the aftermath of a Boxing Day loss to Blyth Spartans, which extended the club’s winless streak to six games.
“South Shields FC can confirm the decision has been made to part company with first-team manager Julio Arca and his assistant Tommy Miller,” the club said in a statement.
“The club expresses its sincere gratitude to Julio and Tommy for their efforts during their time at 1st Cloud Arena and wishes them both well for their future endeavours. Julio has been one of the main catalysts of the club’s growth over the last eight-and-a-half years and will always be regarded as a club legend
“We regret that his tenure as first-team manager has come to an end, but this decision was made based on on-field performance and results over the last six weeks.” Julio, Tommy, and their families are always welcome at the 1st Cloud Arena.
“Elliott Dickman will lead the first team on an interim basis following the departures of Julio and Tommy, and he will be assisted by Lee Picton.” At this time, the club will make no more remark.”
Miller played for Wednesday between 2009 and 2011, before joining Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield. In the latter parts of his career, he also played for FC Halifax Town.
