2010–11. 2010–2022 Tamworth manager Gary Mills was appointed in October 2010, and he led York to sixth place in 2010–11. In his first full season in charge, Mills led York to victory in the 2012 FA Trophy Final over Newport County, and subsequently in the 2012 Conference Premier play-off Final over Luton Town. By winning the play-offs, York were promoted to League Two, meaning the club returned to the Football League after an eight-year absence. Mills was dismissed in March 2013 after a run of 11 matches without a win left York in 18th place. Former Northern Ireland manager Nigel Worthington guided York away from relegation with four wins from the last five matches of 2012–13. Worthington led York to the League Two play-offs in 2013–14, and they were beaten 1–0 on aggregate in the semi-final by Fleetwood Town. With only one win from his last 17 matches in charge, Worthington resigned in October 2014. Former Scunthorpe United manager Russ Wilcox was appointed, and York avoided relegation after a run of four wins from five matches late into 2014–15. Wilcox was dismissed in October 2015 after a nine-match run without a win left York 21st in the table, and was succeeded by the former Dundee United manager Jackie McNamara in November. York went on a run of one win from the last 16 fixtures, and were relegated to the National League after finishing bottom of League Two in 2015–16. This marked the end of York's four-year return in the Football League. With the team 19th in the National League, Gary Mills was reappointed manager in October 2016, shortly after he was dismissed by Wrexham. McNamara remained at the club after taking on the role of chief executive. Mills was unable to stop York being relegated to the National League North for the first time in 2016–17, although they did beat Macclesfield Town in the 2017 FA Trophy Final. Mills was dismissed in September 2017, with York seventh in the National League North and 11 points away from the only automatic promotion place. He was succeeded by Darlington manager Martin Gray, who led York to an 11th-place finish in 2017–18. He left in August 2018 when his contract was not renewed, with the team eighth in the table after five matches. Sam Collins was appointed in October 2018 after four wins from eight matches as caretaker manager before being dismissed in
