The 39-year-old Scot’s reign was brought to a close on Sunday after the previous day’s 1-0 home defeat by Luton, the club’s third in succession and eighth in 12 league games.
Here we remember five of Alex Neil' s most memorable games as PNE manager, and five he'd probably rather forget.
2. Birmingham 1 PNE 3, September 16, 2017
This was PNE at their pressing and counter-attacking best early in Alex Neil's reign, coming back from 1-0 down to sweep the Blues aside.
3. Bolton 1 PNE 3, March 3, 2018
Gentry Day went with a swing in Neil's first season in charge, as Tom Barkhuizen and Sean Maguire (2) found the net at the Macron Stadium in front of 4,400 travelling PNE fans.
4. PNE 4 Blackburn 1: Nov 24, 2018
What a day at Deepdale as North End blew local rivals Blackburn away, two early goals and two late strikes doing the damage.
