Kevin Nolan 'loved every minute' of his time at Cobblers
Kevin Nolan, speaking for the first time since departing Sixfields, said he ‘loved every minute’ of his 14 months as Northampton manager.
Nolan took his third role in management when appointed by Cobblers at the end of 2024 but, after keeping the club in League One last season, he paid the price for a run of one win in 16 league games by losing his job last Monday.
The former Leyton Orient and Notts County manager, and ex-captain of three Premier League clubs, made his first public appearance since leaving Sixfields when he worked as a pundit for Sky Sports News on Tuesday evening. He covered the Championship game between Watford and Wrexham and briefly spoke about his time at Sixfields.
Asked how he’s found the last week, Nolan said: "Difficult! I really enjoyed my time there but there’s nothing than being here with you guys tonight doing this.”
On what’s next, he added: “We'll have to see what the plan is longer term. I'll spend some time with my family and see what happens. I loved every minute of it and it's not put me off management, but I enjoy this side of it (punditry) as well.
"I'm just looking forward to seeing what's next and I'm going to enjoy whatever comes in front of me."
