Torquay United are closing in on appointing a new manager, according to co-chairmen Michael Westcott and Mark Bowes-Cavanagh.
England’s most experienced manager Neil Warnock, who is an advisor to the club’s owners, has been in temporary charge for the past two matches after Paul Wotton was sacked earlier this month following a five-game winless run.
The Gulls are yet to win a game under 77-year-old Warnock, having lost at Ebbsfleet United on Saturday after a draw with Farnborough last Tuesday.
Warnock will be at the helm for Tuesday’s visit of Salisbury as the Gulls try and avoid an eight-game winless run.
“We hope to complete the appointment over the coming days,” the co-chairmen said in a statement.
“What has been particularly encouraging has been the level and quality of interest in the role.
“Torquay United remains a very attractive club for ambitious managers, and we have received a significant number of strong applications from across the game.
“We are taking the time to ensure we make the right appointment – someone capable of delivering our medium and long-term ambitions for the football club.”
