It seems that the American billionaire is doing a thorough job of selecting the best head coach, but it is yet unclear who will occupy the dugout at the Priestfield next.
In the 2023–24 season, League Two has already lost four managers, and just one of them has been replaced thus far.
Ian Dawes of Tranmere Rovers was the first to receive his marching orders, and in quick succession in October a trio of experienced bosses lost their jobs.
Mark Hughes, Neil Harris and Graham Alexander received their marching orders from Bradford City, Gillingham and MK Dons respectively, but the latter were able to replace Alexander within 24 hours as Gateshead head coach Mike Williamson has been brought in to the Buckinghamshire club.
Bradford and Gillingham though remain managerless, and the Gills perhaps need a new boss more than most after their caretaker Keith Millen was sent off last Saturday for tripping up Walsall winger Tom Knowles.
After defeating MK Dons 2-1 more than a week ago, the Kent team made a great start to the post-Harris era. However, a 4-1 loss away to the same Saddlers a few days ago brought them down to earth.
When Harris’ departure from Priestfield Stadium was revealed over two we
eks ago, it was a shocking and brutal dismissal, and owner Brad Galinson provided no meaningful explanation for the former Gills striker’s departure.
Although Clemence has never managed before, the 45-year-old has served as Bruce’s right-hand man at many teams and is now eager to go out on his own.
What has Brad Galinson stated on Gillingham’s manager appointment?
Gillingham fans have now received an update from Galinson about the club’s search for Harris’ replacement, and it appears that they are not in a rush to find someone.
