Tommy Widdrington Steps Down as Aldershot Town Manager
Aldershot Town has officially announced that Tommy Widdrington has resigned as the club’s manager. This resignation comes just five months following his significant achievement of guiding the team to victory in the FA Trophy.
Tommy Widdrington: Key Highlights
The 54-year-old manager joined Aldershot Town in April 2023 and extended his contract in August for an additional two years. During his tenure, he experienced a remarkable milestone when the club defeated Spennymoor Town 3-0 at Wembley, capturing the FA Trophy in front of 18,000 enthusiastic fans.
Current Team Performance
As of now, Aldershot Town finds itself in a precarious position. The team is currently ranked 19th in the National League, having secured only three wins out of 14 matches this season.
Management Transition
Following Widdrington’s departure, Aldershot Town has appointed Hugo Langton and Alan Dowson to manage the first team as they prepare for their upcoming match against Tamworth. A club statement confirmed Widdrington’s resignation but noted that no further comments would be provided at this time.
Health Concerns and Support
Earlier this year, in early 2025, Widdrington faced health challenges, temporarily stepping away from his managerial duties due to two strokes. In May, after the FA Trophy win, he expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support from the Aldershot community during his recovery.
As the club moves forward, the leadership change will be closely monitored by fans and stakeholders alike, eager to see how Aldershot Town adapts to this new chapter.
