Newport County can today confirm that Chris Todd has stepped into the role of interim manager with immediate effect.
Chris takes charge as the club enters an important period, and he does so with the full backing of the board, staff, and players. His knowledge of the squad, understanding of the club's values, and commitment to its supporters make him well placed to lead the team in this interim capacity.
Mark Smith will retain his position as assistant manager and will continue to play a central role within the coaching setup, providing valuable continuity and support to Chris and the wider group as preparations continue.
Everyone at the club is united behind Chris, Mark, and the squad, and we look forward to getting behind the team for the start of pre-season.
Newport County asks supporters and the media for their patience during this period. Chris has our full confidence as he leads the team, and in due course we will carry out a considered process to determine the right long-term appointment for the club's ethos and ambitions.
