Eastleigh Football Club has appointed Richard Hill as interim manager until the end of the season following the sacking of Scott Bartlett. Hill, who has previously managed the club from 2012 to 2015 and again in 2023 to 2024, is tasked with stabilizing the team as they fight to retain their National League status.

Why It Matters

The club currently sits 18th in the National League table, just six points above the relegation zone. This precarious position has prompted the club to seek immediate leadership to improve performances and secure vital results. Vice-chairman Tom Coffey expressed confidence in Hill’s ability to deliver results, highlighting the need for calm leadership during this challenging period.

What’s Next

Hill’s first match back in charge will be against Truro City on Wednesday night, followed by a home game against Carlisle on Saturday. Meanwhile, Eastleigh is in the process of searching for a long-term successor to Bartlett as they aim to improve their standing in the league.
