Eastaugh is back for his second spell with the Planters following Cedric Ancelin's decision to stand down on Friday.

 

He initially first took charge in June 2016 after the club opted to pursue promotion to Step 4 of the non-League Pyramid for the first time.

 

In his first season, he oversaw an impressive ninth-place finish. However, the 2017/18 season was bitter-sweet with the club being relegated from the Isthmian League Division One North by one point but winning the Norfolk Senior Cup for the first time in the club`s history, coming from behind to beat Downham Town 4-2 in the final at Carrow Road.

 

The club were shocked when Eastaugh decided to resign just before the start for the 2018/19 season for personal reasons.

 

His last position was manager of Diss Town, having agreed to be their new manager in February 2020 for the rest of the truncated 2019/20 season.

 

Club captain Andy Eastaugh will become player/assistant manager with Martin Meek taking a role as coach, with further announcements on Eastaugh's management team to follow.

 

Eastaugh told the club`s website: "It's great to be back at Plantation Park, I'm really looking forward to getting started and I'm grateful to the chairman for this opportunity. I've inherited a really talented group of players and I'd like to thank Cedric for all the obvious hard work he has put in, to give us a fantastic platform to take things forward".
