Martyn Rogers has stepped down as joint-manager at Tiverton Town after an incredible three decades at the helm.
Rogers’ nephew Scott will take charge for the Southern League campaign, which starts on August 14 with a visit from Chesham United.
Martyn told the Tivvy club website: Things have changed for me off the pitch in my personal life and it’s now time I devoted far more time to my wife and family. It goes without saying that I have loved every minute at the club since taking over as Manager thirty years ago.
"I think I’m leaving the club in a really healthy position on and off the pitch and wish Scott all the luck in the world, it’s his time to shine.”
Chairman Ian Moorcroft added: "I would like to thank Dodge for the legacy he has left us, virtually thirty years of success, three FA Vase Finals and the club playing at a decent level.”
