Wrexham AFC head coach Phil Parkinson has announced his emotional departure from the club, bringing an end to a historic tenure that helped reshape the future of the Welsh side. Parkinson, who took charge in 2021, played a pivotal role in Wrexham’s remarkable return to the Football League and their continued climb through the English football pyramid.
In a heartfelt statement released today, Parkinson said, “It’s been an incredible journey, one I’ll always treasure. But the time feels right for a new chapter—for both myself and the club.” The news comes as a shock to fans, especially after the success and global attention Wrexham has garnered under the ownership of Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
Parkinson oversaw Wrexham’s promotion from the National League in the 2022–23 season and helped establish them as strong contenders in League Two and beyond. His leadership, experience, and calm presence on the sidelines earned him deep respect from players and supporters alike.
Wrexham AFC thanked Parkinson for his service, calling him “a true leader who will forever be part of our story.” As the club looks to the future, Parkinson’s departure marks the end of an unforgettable era.
