Law, in his second spell in charge of the Poppies, oversaw the development of the squad during his four seasons at Latimer Park, culminating in promotion last season.

As well as two stints in charge of Kettering, Law has also managed Chasetown, Tamworth, Barwell, Quorn, Racing Club Warwick and Coventry Sphinx.

The Poppies Board moved quickly for a replacement and have brought Nicky Eaden back to the club.

Eaden played for Kettering and acted as part of the management during Mark Cooper`s time in charge. 

Having managed in the National League North with Nuneaton Borough during a turbulent time for the club, he left after a number of ownership changes to take charge of then-Northern Premier League Premier Division outfit Hednesford Town at the turn of 2019.

In his four-month reign he steered the Pitmen away from a relegation fight to mid-table security. 

Owner Ritchie Jeune told http://www.ketteringtownfc.com: “Nicky has the qualities we are looking for in a manager. A player who has played at the level and who has had the success that Nicky had during his playing career, including winning the league we are currently in. He knows what it means to win and more importantly what is needed from the top down to win.

“Nicky has had a challenging start to his managerial career, I believe that Kettering Town FC is the right club for him to excel”.
