"We are pleased to confirm that Andy Thorn has appointed Full Contact to advise and assist him as he seeks a new managerial role.
Following the conclusion of his successful playing career, Andy worked for four years at Everton under David Moyes, and then two years at Fulham with both Chris Coleman and Roy Hodgson. He then joined Coventry City as chief scout before becoming caretaker-manager in the 2010/2011 season alongside Steve Harrison after Aidy Boothroyds’ departure. Coventry enjoyed a successful close to the season under his leadership, despite operating under an extremely small budget for Championship standards, losing only one game. Andy’s first game as the official manager of the club was the final home game of the 2010–2011 season against Reading.
Whilst the 2011–2012 season saw Coventry relegated to League One, shrewd observers of the game are well aware that this relegation must be considered in the context of Coventry’s dire financial circumstances, boardroom conflict and Andy’s inability to buy new players. The fact that Andy became Coventry’s tenth managerial casualty in eleven years also bears out what a difficult task it was.
Perhaps the legacy of Andy’s tenure at Coventry will be that he successfully acquired numerous players on free transfers, all of whom soon became considerable assets to the club (most of whom were sold on promptly), such as Jordan Henderson, Jack Cork, Danny Fox, Scott Dann, Keiron Westwood, Richard Keogh, Anar Gunnarsson and Lucas Jutkewitcz. It would be no exaggeration to say that but for the discovery and then sale of some of these players, Coventry may well not have survived."
At least know who Dongle works for now!
