Simon Grayson leaves Bradford City

    Simon Grayson has left his post as manager of Bradford City.

    The 48-year-old took over in February after the sacking of Stuart McCall but won just three games of his 14 in charge as the Bantams finished 11th in League One.

    He had an offer to extend his short-term contract to beyond the end of the season but has declined.

    The former Sunderland boss spoke on Bradford City’s website: “This was an extremely difficult decision. After conversations with the owners I have decided to turn down the option to extend my contract."

    Assistant manager Glynn Snodin has also left the club.
