📣CLUB STATEMENT: The club can confirm that after a meeting took place today at The EBB Stadium with Deane Wood and John Coleman, both have agreed a mutual termination of John Coleman's contract here at Aldershot Town. John will remain in charge for the final game of the season this Saturday Vs Truro, so please join us in giving John a loud and proud send off🤝 Signing for the Shots as first-team manager back in October 2025, John joined us in a period with one of our hardest challenges as a football club on the pitch. By the start of December, we were 7 points adrift in the relegation zone, having secured just 13 points in this time. From then, with a number of key signings John and the squad turned things around, with a run which put us to the top of the form list continuing into the new year. Deane Wood expressed his gratitude for John's efforts and the way which he carried himself, but most importantly, keeping the club up, but feels a change is needed due to the recent run of results, giving the club the best possible chance of a reset in the summer. This football club would like to thank John for his efforts during his time here, and wish him all the very best for his future endeavors! The club can also confirm that player-coach James Henry will also be leaving at the end of the season after our final fixture Vs Truro. James, featuring 83 times for the Shots scoring 22 goals in the red and blue, James has been a huge part both on and off the pitch during the past 2 seasons, and we'd like to thank him for all his efforts during his time here as well🔴🔵
