Carey revealed he expects Saturday's FA Cup tie with Peterborough to be his last in charge as Wrexham seek to find a senior manager to replace him. But the 39-year-old says he wants to stay in the coaching set up, although he admitted his time could be up. "Managers want to bring their own staff with them so that may prove difficult," Carey told BBC Wales Sport. "But it's very early days in the discussions. I'm not too sure if anybody has been approached as of yet.
"I'm sure something will be unveiled in the early part of next week." Carey held discussions with the Wrexham board on Thursday where he was given more details of the club's intention to appoint a new manager. The likes of Stan Ternent, Brian Little and Steve Cotterill - who lost his job as manager of Burnley on Thursday - have already emerged as the front runners to take over. With the club languishing in the relegation zone of League Two, Carey accepts Wrexham are correct to make changes in an effort to revive their fortunes, but he urged the board to take care over the appointment. "Results haven't gone for us this season and we're aware of how serious the situation is," said Carey, who took over as full-time manager in May after a spell as caretaker boss. "At the end of it, we want what's best for the club. So the search is going on to get somebody in. "As regard myself, I'll just continue to do the job and see what happens and what the future brings.
He added: "But let's get the right guy in here and get the club moving up the league. "But it does need to be the right person because there's a lot of people out there who wouldn't be right for this club. "There's a lot of people out there in the game who are in it for themselves, the person coming here has to want to do well for this club. "I feel the club now has the opportunity to take a giant step forward and use is as a statement of intent for the future of Wrexham Football club. Carey said he hopes the confusion and uncertainty over his role can be put to one side to allow his players to concentrate on Saturday's FA Cup first round tie in Peterborough. The game has been given greater spice by comments made by Posh boss Darren Ferguson, a former team-mate of Carey's at Wrexham. Ferguson told the BBC's Sport Wales show that he would have been a better option as Wrexham boss and is puzzled why the possibility was never discussed with him. "It would be quite ironic if I end my career at Peterborough because I started my Wrexham career there as well," said Carey, who played over 300 games for the Dragons. "I do want to stay, it's been a big part of my life. But we'll have to see what happens in the next week or so and take it from there. "Darren has assembled a team down there, they're doing quite well. "But it's a cup game - we've been known for our cup tradition through the years and I just hope we can add to that on Saturday and see where it takes us." | |||||
