AFC Fylde have parted company with manager Chris Beech ahead of Tuesday night's clash with Southend United.

Fylde sit second from bottom in the National League following a 3-0 defeat at York City on Saturday.

And the Coasters have now opted to make a change.

A club statement confirmed: "The club can confirm that they have parted company with Chris Beech and his assistant Nick Anderton.

The club would like to place on record their thanks to both Chris and Nick and wish them all the best in their future endeavours."

Chris Neal and Nathan Delfouneso will take charge of AFC Fylde for the rearranged match with the Shrimpers.
