Overview
- Port Vale confirmed Darren Moore’s dismissal on December 28 following the Boxing Day defeat at Huddersfield Town.
- The Valiants sit bottom of League One, 10 points adrift after 21 matches, and hold the division’s worst goal difference.
- They have not won a league game since September 27, losing seven of their last nine, with only three wins in 21 this season.
- Moore was appointed in February 2024 on a five-and-a-half-year contract, oversaw relegation, then guided Vale to promotion last season.
- A full recruitment process is under way and no interim or permanent lead has been named for Monday’s trip to Bradford City, while Moore issued an apology and thanks to supporters, players and staff.
