In the wake of their 4-3 defeat to Gateshead, Mark Cooper was relieved of his duties as Yeovil Town manager. Cooper had been in charge since October 2022 and had led the Glovers to the National League South title in the 2023-24 season.
Jamie McAllister:
A promotion winner with the Glovers in the 2012-13 season, Scotsman Jamie McAllister was a long-term assistant to former Yeovil midfielder Lee Johnson at Bristol City, Sunderland and Hibernian. He is currently managing Brunei based Duli Pengiran Muda Mahkota FC in the Singapore Premier League.
Scott Davies:
Former Glovers loanee Scott Davies has performed well as manager of Slough Town in National League South with one of the league's smaller budgets, a club he still turns out for as a player at the age of 37. Could he be ready for the step-up to the National League?
Scott Bartlett:
Another manager who has built a fine reputation in National League South, Weston Super Mare manager Scott Bartlett actually worked under Mark Cooper as head of academy at Forest Green Rovers. He has assembled a side that has established a reputation for playing passing football, and they just missed out on the play-offs in National League South in 2024-25 - as they finished eighth.
Steve Cotterill:
The vastly experienced and well-travelled Steve Cotterill left Forest Green Rovers earlier in the season. If Yeovil did turn to him, he would join Gary Johnson in having managed Cheltenham Town, Bristol City and the Glovers. Like Johnson, he has also led Cheltenham into the Football League and Bristol City into the Championship, could he add a return to the Football League with Yeovil to that list?
Derek Adams:
No stranger to the South West from his four years in charge of Plymouth Argyle between 2015 and 2019, Derek Adams had been set to take charge of Morecambe in the National League prior to their takeover by the Panjab Warriors group. Ashvir Singh Johal was appointed as his successor, and he will no doubt be seeking a swift return to management.
