Report: Former Notts County academy boss settles out of court with club

Notts County have settled a year-long row with their former academy manager just before the case was due to go to an employment tribunal, it has been reported.

Mick Leonard, a former goalkeeper for the Magpies and the individual who headed their youth programme, was sacked in June last year as Academy Manager for alleged gross misconduct.

According to ITV News, Leonard - who has denied any wrongdoing - appealed, but the two sides were able to reach an out of court settlement.

The sum involved hasn't been disclosed and the club has reportedly declined to make any comment.

Leonard had been coaching at Meadow Lane since 2008 prior to his dismissal.
