NIGEL Deeley hopes to appoint his successor as assistant manager later this week.
The new Witton boss told the Guardian he knows who he wants already.
“I’ve spoken to somebody this week,” he said.
“I’m hopeful they will be up for taking the job on.”
Deeley revealed that Dave Millington, used as a goalkeeping coach for Jon Kennedy last season, will have a greater role to play during his tenure.
“I’ll use Dave a bit more than in the recent past,” he said.

"I feel he has a lot to offer out on the training pitch as he’s a huge asset to the club.
“He’ll still be looking after Jon, plus whoever comes in as an understudy.”
Witton’s players report back from their holidays next month ahead of a busy summer programme that features seven friendlies to date.
