Long serving Alan Devonshire calls it a day at Maidenhead United
The 69-year-old will manage his last game on Saturday
Maidenhead manager Alan Devonshire has announced he will stand down after Saturday's home game against Chippenham.
It will bring to an end ten and a half years at York Road during which time the Magpies enjoyed their most successful period.
Club Chairman, Peter Griffin, has paid tribute to Alan Devonshire, saying: “Dev’s contribution to Maidenhead United has simply been amazing, overseeing the most successful period of the club’s history, for which we will always be grateful.
“I hope our fantastic supporters will come together on Saturday to give Dev the send-off he deserves."
He will take charge of the next two fixtures against Salisbury and Chippenham Town, before stepping down after the final whistle on Saturday, 29th November.
The club said in a statement that from Sunday, 30th November, Ryan Peters will become interim manager, with Aaron O’Brien becoming assistant manager.
His departure comes with the side struggling in a run that has seen them lose their last six cup and league games.
Ten days ago he criticised the reaction of fans after the team was knocked out of the FA Trophy saying he was 'disappointed' with some of their 'unacceptable' abuse towards the players.
