On 24 February 2014, Andy Morrell stepped down as manager, "I feel it is in the best interests of both Wrexham FC and me to make a change now," Morrell said in a statement. Billy Barr took temporary control of Wrexham Football Club until 20 March 2014 when Kevin Wilkin was announced as the new First Team Manager, joining from Nuneaton Town on a two and a half year deal. Wrexham finished the 2013–14 season in 17th place, the lowest position in the club's 150-year history.
