Christian Fuchs has resigned as Newport County manager after just seven months at the League Two club. The former Austria international and Premier League winner with Leicester took charge last November following David Hughes' dismissal. Fuchs leaves despite securing the club's Football League status on the final day of last season.

His departure comes eight weeks after County preserved their league status, ending a turbulent campaign. The 40-year-old's exit on the eve of pre-season creates immediate disruption for the Exiles as they prepare for 2024-25.

Newport now faces the challenge of finding their fourth manager in just over two years. The club confirmed the decision in a statement, thanking Fuchs for his hard work and professionalism during his brief tenure.

This resignation highlights the instability at Rodney Parade, where the managerial position has become a revolving door. The timing couldn't be worse for a club that needs consistency to build on their narrow escape from relegation.
