Summary and aftermath

Marek Štěch made his international debut for the Czech Republic in June.

Yeovil occupied a relegation position for the majority of the season and from October until the end of the season.[162] The team won 4 matches, drew 6 and lost 13 at home, compared to winning 4, drawing 7 and losing 12 away from home. Joe Edwards was an everpresent recording the highest number of appearances during the season, appearing in all 50 of Yeovil's matches. Nottingham Forest loanee Ishmael Miller was top scorer in all competitions with 10 goals, followed by James Hayter with 8 goals.

Following relegation, Yeovil released club captain Jamie McAllister, Rubén Palazuelos, Reuben Reid and Joey Jones, while James Hayter, Marek Štěch, Luke Ayling, Byron Webster and Seth Nana Twumasi were offered new contracts.[163] Hayter, Twumasi, Calvin Brooks and Nathan Ralph all signed new contracts with the club. Marek Štěch rejected the offer of a new contract and signed for Sparta Prague,[164][165] Byron Webster also rejected the offer of a new contract signing for Championship side Millwall.[166] Defender Luke Ayling was the third player to reject the offer of a new contract but due to his age Yeovil received compensation from Bristol City for his transfer.[167]

The off-season saw both Marek Štěch and Joel Grant make their full international debuts for the Czech Republic and Jamaica respectively.

Club

The club's manager Gary Johnson, and Yeovil's backroom staff remained the same for the 2013–14 season, with Terry Skiverton as his assistant, former player Darren Way continuing as first team coach, Gareth Stewart as goalkeeping coach and Mike Micciche as physiotherapist after they all signed new two-year contracts in late May 2013.[9] The only addition was the reappointment of former physiotherapist Simon Baker to assist Micciche.[168] Yeovil's new home kit was first introduced prior to the 2013 Football League One play-off Final and was designed by Sondico, with the design now boasting white sleeves and an entirely white back.[169] For Yeovil's first two away matches of the season the club played in their new home kit whilst wearing green shorts, before on 23 August the club finally announced a new away kit with the same design as the home shirt but with the fluorescent yellow and black hoops on the front with the back being plain black with gold piping.[170]
