It looks as if former Saddlers manager Colin Lee is about to make another comeback in a managerial hot seat – at rock bottom Torquay United.

The club have confirmed that boss Lubos Kubik has left Plainmoor, after “it was agreed between all parties that the current situation is untenable”.

The ex-Czech Republic defender replaced Ian Atkins in November, but has only won only one of his 12 league games in charge.

Lee, who managed the Gulls for a four-month spell in 2001, saving them from almost certain relegation at the time, returned to the club in January to assist Kubik.

This will, of course, also be be the third time that Lee has gone to a club as Assistant Manager, only to end up in charge himself (Wolves and Mr Magoo, Millwall and Steve Claridge and now Torquay and Kubik).
