KEVIN PHILLIPS has been axed by National League side AFC Fylde after just four months in charge. The former Premier League star leaves with the club languishing in 22nd place. And it brings to an end a miserable four months at the helm, with Phillips winning just five of his 20 matches. A club statement revealed Fylde parted ways with Phillips by "mutual consent.". And assistant David Longwell will take charge on an interim basis as chiefs hunt for a new manager to save them from the drop to non-league.
