Julio Arca won three promotions while playing at South Shields, and now he's been appointed manager of the club following Kevin Phillips' departure...
RIGHT TIME TO RETURN
“It’s great to be back at the club after so many years. I firmly believe this is the right time for me to come back for a different challenge, and I’m very excited about it."
FIRST MANAGERIAL JOB
“The club has grown so fast, and this is a fantastic opportunity for me to become a manager for the first time, especially with the platform we have here."
GETTING STARTED
“There is a lot of work to do between now and the start of pre-season but I’m very hungry to get started and help the club continue to progress. I like to compete. I’m not a person who is happy to sit in mid-table, and that’s why we need to get the right things done at the beginning. I will do the best I can to put South Shields in a great position next season.”
CHAIRMAN GEOFF THOMPSON SAID:
“We are thrilled to welcome Julio back to the club and to provide him with his first opportunity as a manager."
CATALYST FOR GROWTH
“He was one of the main catalysts behind the growth of the club between 2015 and 2018, both on and off the pitch, and I’m very confident that many of the qualities he demonstrated in that time will translate excellently to his new role."
EXCITING TIMES
“It’s a hugely exciting time for the club and with Julio now installed, we are ready to finalise our plans for the season ahead in National League North. I’m sure our fans will be just as delighted as we are to welcome such an important figure in the history of our club back to 1st Cloud Arena.”
