Based on previous entries in the betting market during vacancies and experience within this division, the following are potential candidates for the Next Newport County Manager position:

Paul Tisdale

After spending 5 years at Team Bath and 12 years at Exeter City Paul Tisdale’s most recent jobs have been much shorter in length, he lasted 73 games at Milton Keynes Dons and a truncated 19 and 21 matches at Bristol Rovers and Stevenage. The sheen of his managerial talents has slightly faded due to those recent disappointing performances but we suspect there will be a club willing to appoint the man who was League 2 Manager of the Year in 2009 and who has achieved promotion for 3 of the 5 clubs where he has been the boss. 

Wayne Hatswell

The former Newport County assistant and caretaker manager could well be in the running when current manager Graham Coughlan leaves or is sacked by Newport. He was in charge for 5 games in October 2021 (W1 D3 L1) but left in February 2022 to reunite with former Newport boss Michale Flynn at Walsall. 

David Artell

Artell said that he was very interested in the Swindon Town job before Jody Morris was appointed in January 2023. The best betting sites had the former Crewe Alexandra manager at odds of 5/2 and it seems he was being considered. David Artell who was in his first job spent 5 years with the Railwaymen and won promotion from League 2 in 2020 as well as Manager of the Year. He has been out of football management since he left Crewe in  April 2022.

The Irish born manager played 461 games for various lower league clubs with his longest spell at Plymouth Argyle between 2001 and 2005. He was a tough tackling centre-back who took no prisoners. Coughlan twice made the PFA Team Of the Year when at Argyle.
