Following the departure of former manager Stuart McCall, it is the football club's main intention to appoint a short team successor.

The football club will begin interviews for the newly vacated position this week, with the successful applicant being offered the role of Bradford City's first team manager until the end of the 2009/2010 season.

The aim of the new manager will be to put Bradford City Football Club in the best shape possible for the remainder of the season and leading into the summer of 2010.

While the short-term successor to Stuart will place himself in pole position for the permanent first team manager's role at the Coral Windows Stadium, the football club will continue to hold interviews in the coming months to enable the board to appoint the best possible candidate for the future of Bradford City Football Club.
