Salisbury FC have announced that they have parted company with Director and Manager Steve Claridge.
The former Bournemouth, Brighton and Portsmouth player was one of the group of five who helped form the club in 2014.
As team manager he gained two promotions with the Whites, who are playing in the Southern League Premier South division.
In a statement on their website, Salisbury FC said:
"On behalf of everyone at Salisbury FC, the Club would like to place on record its gratitude to Steve during his time with the Club, firstly as one of the group of 5 that formed Salisbury FC at the end of 2014 and then as team manager, gaining 2 promotions. Steve will rightly always have a place in Salisbury FC’s history.
"However, with the club no longer involved in either the FA Cup or the FA Trophy this season, it is important to look to the longer term and the ongoing development and success of the club.
"With this in mind, the appointment of a new manager to lead the club forward is seen as essential and we hope to make an announcement in the near future."
The Whites currently find themselves in 5th place after beating Tiverton Town 4-2 last night (Wednesday 12th October).
