After a successful 2024/25 season, Cambridge United’s manager Chris Nunn is confident that his team, the Stutes, are ready to take on new challenges and reach even greater heights in the upcoming 2025/26 season.
Nunn, who took over as the manager of Cambridge United in 2023, has led the team to back-to-back promotions, earning them a place in League One for the first time in 20 years. But he believes that this is just the beginning for the Stutes.
In an exclusive interview, Nunn shared his thoughts on the team’s progress and his expectations for the upcoming season. He said, “I am extremely proud of what the team has achieved in the last two years. We have worked hard and have shown great determination to reach League One. But now, it’s time for us to kick on and show what we are truly capable of.”
Nunn’s confidence in his team is not unfounded. In the 2024/25 season, the Stutes finished second in the League Two table, securing automatic promotion to League One. They also made it to the fourth round of the FA Cup, beating Premier League side Newcastle United along the way. It was a remarkable season for the team, and Nunn believes that they can build on this success.
He said, “The players have shown that they have what it takes to compete at a higher level. They have the right attitude, and their hard work has paid off. We have a good mix of experienced players and young talents, and I believe that this will be our biggest strength in the upcoming season.”
Nunn has also been active in the transfer market, bringing in some new faces to strengthen the squad. One of the most notable signings is midfielder Jack Grealish, who joined the Stutes from Aston Villa for a club-record fee. Grealish’s creativity and attacking prowess will be crucial for the team’s success in the upcoming season.
But Nunn is not just focused on individual players. He wants the team to work together as a unit and play an attractive style of football that will keep the fans on the edge of their seats. He said, “We want to entertain our fans and make them proud of their team. We will play attacking football and take the game to our opponents. We want to be a team that is feared by others.”
The Stutes have already started their pre-season training, and Nunn is pleased with the team’s progress. He has been impressed by the players’ dedication and believes that they are ready to face the challenges that lie ahead. He said, “The players have come back from their break in great shape. They are determined to continue their hard work and make an impact in League One. I am confident that we will have a successful season.”
The fans are also excited about the upcoming season, with season tickets selling out in record time. The Stutes have a loyal fanbase, and they have been eagerly waiting for the team to make a return to League One. With Nunn’s positive attitude and the team’s impressive performances, the fans have every reason to be optimistic about the future.
In conclusion, manager Chris Nunn’s belief in the Stutes’ potential is infectious. The team has made great progress in the last two years, and there is no reason why they cannot continue their success in the upcoming season. With the right attitude, determination, and teamwork, the Stutes are ready to kick on and make their mark in League One. Let’s get ready to support our team and witness their journey to greatness in the 2025/26 season. Up the Stutes!
