Bedford Town Football Club can confirm we have parted company with manager Gary Setchell. The board of the club have collectively made this very tough decision, following the disappointing run of results the Eagles have been on over the last few months.

It is with heavy heart that this decision has been made, especially following the fantastic campaign that Gary had leading the club last season. Everyone at the Eyrie will remain extremely grateful to Gary for his efforts in returning the club to step three football, having been away from it for so long. His time at the club will be remembered fondly by supporters, staff, players and officials, and he will always be welcome back at the club.

The club can also confirm that assistant manager Darren Edey will also be leaving the club. We thank Darren for his work, alongside Gary.

The club will have an interim management in place for Saturday’s fixture at Tamworth. Recruitment of a new manager will begin shortly.
