Andy Woodman has stepped down as manager of Bromley Football Club with immediate effect.
Woodman’s exit came less than 48 hours after the Ravens suffered a 4-0 loss at home to Leicester, which left them sat 23rd in the League One table as he criticised the players for a “not good enough” performance.
The decision also brought Woodman’s five-and-a-half year reign in charge to an end, across which he oversaw promotion from National League to League Two in 2024 and a first foray into the EFL, then promotion into League One at the conclusion of last season as League Two champions.
Woodman also oversaw Bromley’s historic FA Trophy success in 2022, then a magical FA Cup run to the third round in the 2024-25 season, which culminated in a 3-1 defeat at Newcastle United.
Club Chairman and owner, Robin Stanton-Gleaves has issued a club statement expressing thanks to Woodman for his efforts and achievements since he arrived in March 2021, whilst offering assurances to fans that the club will seek to continue pushing forward.
“I would firstly like to offer my sincere thanks to Andy for all he has achieved during his time with us.
“It’s no surprise that this club has reached new heights and Andy has been fundamental in helping us achieve that.
“I would like to reassure our supporters that we will be entering this new chapter with the same ambition and determination to keep moving this football club forward.
“On a personal note, Andy has been a pleasure to work with, and I wish him all the best for the future.”
Announcing Woodman’s exit on the club website, the club confirmed that the decision was made mutually with a private settlement agreed between them and Woodman.
“Bromley Football Club can confirm Andy Woodman is to depart his role as manager with immediate effect following the mutual termination of his contract.”
Byron Webster will take interim charge until Woodman’s successor is appointed, meaning that the defender who retired this summer will be in the dugout for their League One clash against Peterborough at the CopperJax Community Stadium on Saturday 24 October at 3pm BST.
