Notts County have parted company with their head coach, just days after their League Two play-off semi-final defeat.
Stuart Maynard's leaving after they were beaten by AFC Wimbledon - who'll play Walsall for a place in League One on Monday.
It was on the 18th of January 2024, that the 44 year old was appointed head coach of the magpies, following the departure of Luke Williams.
The football club's owners say failure to gain promotion means now is the time for change.
In a statement Chris and Alex Reedtz, said:
“After being unable to achieve our aim of winning promotion this season, we share the disappointment felt by everyone connected with the club.
“While football is a game of fine margins, and Stuart undoubtedly faced numerous challenges over the course of the campaign, neither results nor performances reached the levels we believe the team was capable of - particularly during the defining period towards the end.
"Stuart leaves with our very best wishes and gratitude for his considerable commitment and dedication to the role.
“In the near future we will provide a comprehensive update to supporters, offering more of our own reflections on the 2024-25 campaign while also outlining our approach to next season and beyond.
“Alongside our recently-appointed Head of Football, Roberto Gagliardi, our work is well underway to identify the correct coaching team and new signings to join us on these important next steps of our journey.
“We are highly optimistic about the club’s future and remain as committed as ever to helping Notts County achieve its immense potential.”
