The
Cobras are re-building having finished the campaign in the bottom three in
Toolstation NCEL Division One and they are now awaiting FA confirmation of
which division they will be playing in next season.
Hoole
brings with him credentials of a modern, successful manager following a spell
as the reserve team manager at Matlock Town before he took the first team job
on an interim basis.
After
one defeat in eight matches, moving from third bottom to mid-table, Matlock
then appointed Hoole as the permanent manager in April 2018.
Following
this, Hoole took the first team manager reigns at Clipstone in 2019 before
departing in November 2021 due to unforeseen work commitments.
Hoole
told https://www.clipstonefc.co.uk:
"It feels great to be back, and myself and Dale can’t wait to get started
again.
"It
may be a different league so either way it will be a challenge but one we’re looking
forward to, plenty of work to be done rebuilding but relishing all the
challenges along the way.
"Clipstone
deserves to be higher, the work done over the last three years is nothing less
than remarkable to make it a club of first team, reserves, Clipstone Colts,
volunteers, staff, managers, committee and supporters, and the future is
looking very good.
"Growth
and sustainability is something that everyone at the club is onboard with, I
know that the support from the fans depends on the games you win and how you
win them, playing attractive football.
"So,
hopefully, they can all get down and back the boys and the club in our attempts
to bounce back."
The
Cobras revealed that there was a large number of great local candidates for the
manager's position and the committee are hopeful that some of these will become
part of the backroom staff to further bolster the future of local talent
playing at the club.
Vice
chairman Paul Griffiths added: “We've invested a lot of time and money at the
club to ensure that we are in a strong position to move forward sustainably.
"With
a new reserves team joining the ranks, there will be plenty of opportunities
for local talent to shine.
"With
the management team still not appointed for the reserves, we are hopeful that
we can get some of the applicants involved to allow us to provide one of the
best offerings of football at all ages as the pathway from U7s through to first
team football is, for the first time, complete.
"We’re
thrilled to have Dave and Dale on board again as they share the same ethics and
desire as everyone within the club and we are sure whoever they choose to join
the backroom staff will share the same beliefs".
