John Coventry leaves Tilbury

Tilbury have announced the departure of manager John Coventry and his management team.

John took over at Chadfields in April. Prior to his time with the Dockers he was manager at Great Wakering Rovers and part of the management team at Aveley, but he is best known for his time at East Thurrock United.

John was manager of the Rocks for thirteen years, stepping down when the 2019-20 season came to an early close after being at the helm for six hundred and sixty six competitive matches. He steered the club through promotions and relegations, play off victories and defeats, FA Cup runs and to Essex Senior Cup victory.

His time at Tilbury sees him depart with his side having slipped into the bottom four.
