Christian Fuchs has stepped down as manager of Newport County after just seven months in charge of the League Two club.

The former Austria defender joined the Exiles last November to replace the sacked David Hughes.

Fuchs, a Premier League winner with Leicester, helped County avoid relegation from the Football League on the last day of the season.

However, the 40-year-old has opted to leave his role on the eve of pre-season to leave County hunting their fourth boss in just over two years.

The Exiles return for pre-season training on Monday but it will not be Fuchs putting the players through their paces.

"Newport County can confirm that Christian Fuchs has made the decision to step away from his role as manager," said a club statement.

"Everyone at Newport County would like to thank Christian for his hard work, commitment and professionalism, and wish him every success for the future."

County start their season with a Carabao Cup game at AFC Wimbledon on the weekend of 8 August before a League Two opener against Rochdale at Rodney Parade on 15 August.

The Exiles have made six signings in a rebuild for the new campaign - Harrison Biggins, Christian Doidge, Cameron Norman, Dan Sassi, Shaquille Gwengwe and Yahya Bamba - but have also lost key figures Bobby Kamwa and Matt Baker at the end of their contracts.

Chairman Huw Jenkins was plotting for the season under Fuchs but is now searching for a fourth boss of his ownership of the club after Graham Coughlan, Nelson Jardim, Hughes and the Austrian.

It is the third successive summer that there has been a managerial change at Rodney Parade.

Trace Carroll, close friend of ASU's Dillingham, takes over as Chaparral football coach

-
Trace Carroll, who was teammates and best friends with Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham in high school, is returning to Scottsdale Chaparral to lead the football program. Carroll played for two of the greatest high school coaches in Arizona history, Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle. He played at the tail end of Estabrook's career and the start of Ragle's tenure at the school. He was an offensive lineman, next to future NFL tackle Taylor Lewan, on the 2008 team that reached the state final, before losing to Scottsdale Saguaro. The quarterback of that team, Spencer Stone, is actress Emma Stone's brother. "As a proud alumni and as a former football player at Chaparral for Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle, I look forward to continuing the program’s great success," Carroll said. Carroll, like Dillingham, got into coaching almost immediately after graduating from high school, helping Ragle out at Chaparral. He spent the past six years as a quarterbacks coach at P...

Kenny Moore is the perfect post-draft signing for Cowboys after Colts release originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Dallas Cowboys addressed some of their pressing needs during the 2026 NFL Draft, but the front office could still make a few more moves to patch up the roster ahead of the season. One position where Dallas could use some help is nickel corner. Though No. 11 overall pick Caleb Downs should play a good amount of snaps in the nickel spot, it would still be wise for the Cowboys to explore adding a traditional slot corner to bolster the secondary. That said, there is a veteran corner who was released by his team on Thursday that would be an ideal post-draft signing for the Cowboys' defense led by Christian Parker. Kenny Moore is the perfect post-draft signing for Cowboys After failing to find a trade partner for months, the Indianapolis Colts released Kenny Moore after he asked to be...
