Neill Collins has broken his silence on his sacking as head coach of Barnsley.
The 40-year-old took the reins at Oakwell last summer, returning to Yorkshire having represented Leeds United and Sheffield United as a player. However, he was relieved of his duties with just one game of the regular League One season to go. Barnsley were fifth at the time of his sacking and their place in the play-offs was confirmed on the final day. Martin Devaney, who assisted Collins, took charge of the final-day clash with Northampton Town before leading the Reds into the play-offs.
Bringing my family back to the UK after seven fantastic years in the USA and leaving a club that had became so close to my heart was a decision I did not take lightly. 'However, the opportunity to progress my coaching career at a club with such great history and tradition was one that I couldn’t turn down.
