Harper resigns as Hampton manager
Mark Harper has resigned as manager of Hampton & Richmond Borough.
The under-pressure boss quit after his side’s 3-0 defeat on Easter Monday to the Ryman Premier Division’s bottom club Carshalton Athletic.
Hampton have won only four of 25 league games since early November, a run of form which has seen them tumble from the top of the league to 14th.
Harper’s position had come under scrutiny around the turn of the year, when the club’s board issued a statement demanding ‘an immediate improvement’ in performances and results.
They thrashed Bognor 5-0 last month but the defeat to relegation-threatened Carshalton – who also beat Hampton on Boxing Day – has seen the end of Harper’s tenure.
A club statement read: “We would like to thank Mark for all his hard work over the last five years in various roles within the club.”
