Sutton United have parted ways with head coach Steve Morison following a challenging spell for the club in the National League. The decision to relieve Morison of his duties comes as Sutton find themselves in a precarious 22nd position in the league standings.
Morison took charge in January 2024 after a successful stint at Hornchurch, tasked with the daunting challenge of steering Sutton away from the relegation zone in League Two. His tenure included a commendable eight-match unbeaten streak, which extended the fight against relegation to the final day of the season. Unfortunately, their efforts culminated in a dramatic 4-4 draw with MK Dons, sealing their fate in the league. Read more about Cambridge City Part Ways with Cureton After Poor Start.
In a statement on their official website, Sutton United expressed gratitude for Morison's contributions during his 21 months at Gander Green Lane. The club noted, "The club wishes to place on record its thanks to Steve for his service... His energy, passion and dedication have been infectious to all, and his tireless work off the pitch in helping reshape the club as a more professional organisation has been invaluable. We wish him all the best for the future."
Morison’s football journey began with Norwich City, where he made a significant impact after joining from Millwall in 2011. During his time with the Canaries, he scored 10 league goals in 26 appearances and featured in an additional 27 matches as a substitute. His subsequent move to Leeds United was part of a deal that saw Luciano Becchio head to Norwich.
As Morison prepares for the next chapter of his career, he leaves behind a legacy of dedication and enthusiasm at Sutton United. His commitment to fostering a more professional ethos within the club will be remembered as he transitions to new opportunities in the footballing world.
