Regent boss departs

Brightlingsea Regent have announced the resignation of their manager, Brett Munyard, following yesterday's six-one defeat at Haringey Borough. The club released a short statement, explaining:

'Brightlingsea Regent have this evening accepted the resignation of manager Brett Munyard.

Munyard departs Regent after 16 months in charge of the club.

We thank Brett for everything he has done in his time with the club and wish Brett all the very best for the future.'

Writing on social media, Brett said a few brief words of his own:

'I’m really really sad to say I’ve decided to step down as manager of Brightlingsea Regent. There are of course many reasons and far too many for a tweet. I’m so thankful to the club for the opportunity and going to miss everyone very much.'

Brett joined the club from White Ensign in November 2021. In his time at Ensign he oversaw two promotions, from Step Seven to Step Five. He took over with Regent in nineteenth place in Pitching In Isthmian Premier, having lost eight consecutive games, and steered them to safety, but he hasn't been able to have the same impact this season and they are currently at the bottom of the table, ten points from safety.
