SOUTHEND United have confirmed the departure of manager Mark Molesley. As was revealed by Echosport last night, Molesley has been replaced by Phil Brown who returns to Roots Hall for a second spell. A club statement said: “The club last night terminated the contract of manager Mark Molesley, together with the majority of his back room staff. “We wish to thank Mark for the commitment throughout his tenure. The board recognise the management team worked tirelessly. However, whilst considerable further support was afforded during the January window, results on the pitch remained, unfortunately, inconsistent.
