Longhurst
returned as manager in March 2017 just two weeks after leaving – admitting he
made a mistake in becoming a number two.
Longhurst
left the Wasps at the beginning of March to take up the vacant assistant-manager
role at rivals Hastings United.
However,
he decided to quit after less than two weeks and agreed to return to East
Grinstead.
A
statement on www.egtfc.co.uk reads: “During
his four years in the role, Matt guided East Grinstead to our highest position
in the club’s history and we are grateful for his undisputed commitment and
hard work.
“However,
results this season have been disappointing and haven’t met the expectations of
either Matt or the club’s committee and it was mutually agreed that a change
was needed.
“We
wish Matt all the best for the future.”
Assistant-manager
Grant Hearn and club captain Drew Cooney have been asked to look after the team
tomorrow when the Wasps play Three Bridges and for next Tuesday’s game against
Whitehawk. |
