Gareth Dean has returned to manage Brackley Town following the resignation of Andy Whing. Whing stepped down after seven months in charge, a period that yielded only two league victories for the Saints.
Dean, a club legend, takes over a side sitting 21st in the National League North with eight points from eight games. The team's recent form has been mixed, with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five outings, a sequence you can review on our stats page.
Aaron Downes commented on the managerial change. "The humbling experience lurks around every corner in football," Downes said.
The immediate task for the new boss is to improve a league position that sees Brackley 14 points adrift of leaders Hereford. His first match in charge will be at home to 15th-placed Scarborough Athletic on Saturday.
