Reports: Andy Smith leaves Port Vale
BBC Radio Stoke is reporting that first-team coach Andy Smith has left Vale Park ahead of the game against Chesterfield.
Smith has a close working relationship with former manager Bruno Ribeiro with the pair working together at several clubs and Smith was appointed by the former Vale boss in the summer.
However, following Ribeiro’s Boxing Day resignation, Smith’s future at the club was unclear.
Radio Stoke now reports that Smith has also left leaving caretaker boss Michael Brown free to appoint his own deputy.
