Eastleigh boss Hill signs new deal

Eastleigh FC are delighted to announce that first team manager Richard Hill has signed a contract till the end of next season with an option to extend for a further twelve months.

Eastleigh Chairman Stewart Donald commented: "As a board we are very pleased to have been able to secure Richard on a contractual basis. 

"It is no secret he has been attracting interest from other clubs higher up the pyramid. I am not surprised this is the case and shows what positive impact he has had in his first twelve months. 

"It was an easy conversation as Richard had no desire to leave. He did not negotiate or try to get an improved deal despite knowing there was interest in him, which speaks volumes about his character.

"We have a great working relationship and do not need a contract, but it will hopefully settle a few people down around the club who were concerned that there was no formal agreement. 

"In modern football after two wins everyone gets excited and thinks your world beaters, yet two defeats and it’s time to change the manager!

"As a board and a club it is vital we don’t get carried away with a win or too downhearted with a defeat. We are building for the long term and we believe Richard is the right man to help us achieve those goals. 

"The fact he has improved things to the extent we almost achieved in his and our first year bodes well. I believe the fans are now watching a better product with a real chance of achieving success and Richard is a vital part of that and today’s news is a very positive step for the club.”
