The former Peterborough United favourite and DR Congo international took over as boss at the Sir Halley Stewart Fields in October 2020.

He told his club`s website: “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time as manager but in recent weeks it's become more of a challenge with my commute and my other commitments I have outside of the club.

“After a good and honest conversation with the owners we agreed this was the right thing and right time to do this for both of us, the ongoing development of the club is the main priority.

“I still want to play a part in that and I’m looking forward to attending a game very soon but this time watching from the stands rather than the dug-out. The squad we’ve built is great, I can`t wait to see them kick on and they are in safe hands with Bruno and the team.”

Spalding`s CEO Leigh Porter told his club`s website: “Gaby is a part of the club and always will be, he knows what we all think of him, this is right for him and the club and we look forward to helping Gaby develop. Our focus as a club is now on Saturday and continuing to work towards the goals and objectives we set ourselves at the start of the season.

“Assistant manager Bruno Porfirio will take charge of the squad for tomorrow`s fixture against Coleshill and we will keep everyone updated with further information as soon as it is available”.
