Rookie boss calls time on reign
James Jepson has called time on his reign at EVO-STIK Northern Premier League Rugby Town.
The Valley manager, pictured left with club director Neil Melvin, stood down from his first management post on Sunday citing personal reasons following his side's 6-0 defeat at Brackley in the Emirates FA Cup's Second Qualifying Round.
Appointed in May as the successor to Dale Belford at Butlin Road, the 34-year-old went after seeing his side collect just four points from five league outings to sit third from bottom of the EVO-STIK NPL First Division South table.
In a brief statement announcing the departure of the former Notts County, King’s Lynn, Gresley, Bedworth, Rugby Town, Stamford and AFC Rushden & Diamonds player, Valley officials said they'd already started the hunt for his successor and promised to keep fans informed.
A spokesman said: "Rugby Town have today accepted the resignation of manager James Jepson with immediate effect. James handed in his resignation shortly after the club's 6-0 FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round defeat to Brackley Town due to personal reasons. The club will now begin the search for a successor and a full statement will follow."
