York City have announced the exit of manager Stuart Maynard, three months after he guided the club back into the English Football League after a 10-year absence.<\/p>\n

A club statement, external<\/a> posted on social media said it had “not been an easy decision” by the board and it was made because of a “difference in direction and vision for the football club”.<\/p>\n

York won the National League in dramatic circumstances in April, scoring an equaliser in the 13th minute of second-half stoppage time to draw with title rivals Rochdale<\/a> – who would have been champions themselves had they won.<\/p>\n

The Minstermen ended the campaign on 108 points, having replaced Adam Hinshelwood with former Notts County boss Maynard<\/a> in August 2025.<\/p>\n

The statement continued: “We recognise that, from the outside, this may look like a strange or difficult decision to understand.<\/p>\n

“But we believe that in the long term, the football club will be in a stronger position because of it, another step towards the vision we, as custodians of this club, believe will deliver sustained success.”<\/p>\n

It added: “We hope our track record of improving year on year has earned us a degree of trust and we understand that not everyone will agree with, or fully understand, this decision right away.”<\/p>\n

York host Crawley Town in a Carabao Cup preliminary-round tie on Monday, 3 August and their first League Two match of the season is a home fixture against Bristol Rovers 12 days later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"York City have announced the exit of manager Stuart Maynard, three months after he guided the club back…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":712955,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-712954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/712954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=712954"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/712954\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/712955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=712954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=712954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=712954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
