Prentis Hancock

Prentis Hancock is an English football coach currently working as an assistant manager at Reddit XI.

Early Life and Playing Career
Born in the small village of Kirkwhelpington, Northumberland, Hancock grew up as a Newcastle United fan, and attempted to enter their youth ranks. However, his attempts proved unsuccessful, and he was rejected. This rejection hit a young Prentis hard, and he immediately grew a moustache and attempted to change his identity out of the feelings of shame he suffered in the wake of the incident. Eventually, his parents convinced the then-11-year-old Prentis to come out of hiding, but the moustache remains to this day.

Despite this setback, he managed to land a trial at Whitby Town FC, and was offered a contract. He broke into the first team the following year, and ended up spending the entirety of his career at the club.

Managerial Career
After retiring, he was offered a job as an Under-18s coach at Whitby Town. He then worked his way up the ranks, eventually taking over as manager of the senior team after several decades.

As manager, he was highly successful, taking Whitby Town to the brink of promotion to the Conference National. He did develop a reputation as highly confrontational in his time at Whitby Town, oftentimes engaging in verbal altercations with other managers in press conferences.

In 2017, he was selected by Ilove Labradors to be assistant manager at new Premier League club Reddit XI.
