Mike Marsh has stepped down from his role as interim manager of Preston North End just five days after his appointment, following a mixed start that included a Carabao Cup victory over Sunderland and a heavy 3-0 loss to Swansea City. He took charge alongside assistants Peter Murphy and Ched Evans after the departure of Ryan Lowe, who left after the season's opening game. Despite the brief tenure, Marsh expressed gratitude to the club but stated he would not pursue the position permanently. Preston's chairman confirmed his departure and emphasized the club's focus on finding a new head coach. The team is currently sitting in the relegation zone at 23rd in the Championship, with their next match against Luton Town scheduled for Saturday.
