Bromley part company with Andy Woodman after five years

Long-standing Bromley manager Andy Woodman has left the League One club following the mutual termination of his contract.

A historic tenure

Woodman joined Bromley in 2021 in his first managerial role and oversaw the most successful period in the club's history, winning three trophies and guiding them into the Football League for the first time.

The Ravens lifted the League Two title in May this year to secure a second promotion on his watch, and Woodman was named the division's manager of the year for 2025-26.

Struggles in the third tier

Life in League One has proved challenging. Bromley sit 23rd in the table, one point above bottom club Wigan Athletic. They have won just two of their 10 league games this season and have conceded an EFL-high 25 goals.

Woodman won 123 of his 289 games in charge, a win percentage of 42.6. His five years and seven months in charge was the third-longest spell across the 92 clubs in the Premier League and EFL, behind only Arsenal's Mikel Arteta and Nigel Clough of Mansfield.

Owner pays tribute

Bromley owner and chairman Robin Stanton-Gleaves said Woodman had been "fundamental" in helping the club reach new heights.

"On a personal note, Andy has been a pleasure to work with, and I wish him all the best for the future."

Interim arrangements

Assistant manager Byron Webster will take charge of first-team affairs on an interim basis. Bromley host Peterborough United at Hayes Lane on Saturday (15:00 BST).
