Just over a year since the Ipswich-based manager quit Victory Road, he’s back, after last week leaving Vanarama National League South Braintree Town.
Driver’s
long-time assistant Tony Kinsella is joining him.
Driver
told https://www.leistonfc.co.uk: “Everyone
knows Leiston are a club close to my heart and after leaving Braintree and
knowing Leiston were interested, it was a no-brainer to be honest.
“I
had other clubs wanting to speak to me, but I had two-and-a-half good years at
Leiston and while things haven’t gone well for them recently. I feel in some ways
I owe it to a club whose fans have always been so good to me, to try and bring
better times back.”
Driver
is keen to stress his ambitions remain high.
“I
had a good time at Braintree and I’ve had lots of messages from Braintree fans
thanking me for what me and Tony did,” he added. “I’ve left Braintree with a
young and exciting squad and now I’m looking forward to the challenge at
Leiston.
“I’m
ambitious, sealing our Step 3 future is the main thing and I want to make
Leiston the top Suffolk non-League club again, not in the future, but this
season.”
Driver
knows it will not be an easy ride back at a club who have had a tough start to
the season and Leiston sit bottom of the table.
“There
are going to be ups and downs and we will get a few hidings, but the fans know
I’ll be doing everything to keep the team up,” Driver said. “Byron Lawrence is
returning to us from his loan at Braintree and I’ll be adding two or three more
faces, hopefully by the weekend.”
Leiston
chairman Andy Crisp said: “When we knew Glen was available, we knew we wanted
to get him back.
“I
want to thank Ian Cornforth who was in charge before Glen, for all he did and
also our superb fans who support us home and away.
“I
know much has been written and said about Leiston’s demise. But I can assure
fans that has never been the Board’s thoughts and we are looking forward to
having Glen and Tony back”. |
