EXETER CITY YOUTH COACH IS THE NEW BOSS OF PARKWAY
STUART JAMES
MCPHEE IS THE MAN!

CHRIS McPhee wants to take Plymouth Parkway to the next level after being named as their new manager yesterday.

The 41-year-old leaves his role as a coach within the Academy at Exeter City to succeed Lee Hobbs, who tendered his resignation at Bolitho Park at the end of the season. McPhee will be assisted by former Bristol City and Swindon Town striker Lee Peacock after he recently moved to the area.

Parkway enjoyed great success in Hobbs' seven years in charge, going from a mid-table South West Peninsula League team to the Southern League Premier Division. Now, McPhee wants to build on those three promotions and take the club into the National League South.

"For the last couple of years, it has been on my mind where becoming a manager is something I always aspired to and get back into men's football," McPhee said. "I have spent the last ten years within the Academy at Exeter City and coaching their younger players and helping them to develop and become professional football players.

"Having given up my own career and playing on a Saturday, trying to win three points, it is a different environment and I want to get back into men's football, fighting for three points, feel the atmosphere and trying to outwit your opponent. That's the only thing that's been missing from my coaching career over the last ten years.
