TAYLOR NEW EXETER BOSS
02/06/18
Exeter City have moved quickly to replace Paul Tisdale, who left the Grecians this afternoon, appointing former defender Matt Taylor as their new manager.
The 36-year-old leaves Bath City, where he was a player/coach, to return to St James Park seven years since he represented the club as a player.
TISDALE ON EXETER EXIT
Paul Tisdale, who left Exeter earlier today where he had been the longest-serving manager in English football, has released a statement explaining his decision.
He wrote: "In light of the continuing speculation over my role as Manager of Exeter City Football Club, I feel it is appropriate to announce that I have rejected the new and improved contract offered to me.
"I would like to note that the club did everything in its power to keep me and for that I am extremely grateful. However, I feel now is the correct time for some careful personal consideration regarding my own career.
"To do so, I must first provide the club with absolute certainty in its planning for the upcoming campaign by standing aside."
