Yeovil Town have confirmed that Danny Webb has resigned as first team manager, only 10 days after his appointment, citing personal and family reasons.

The Glovers had turned to their former player to replace Mark Cooper, who left the club last month.

But in a dramatic twist, Webb has quit after just a week at the helm, his reign lasting only one game – a 1-0 defeat to Tamworth.

The club described themselves as “disappointed by the timing” of Webb’s decision but said they fully respected his choice.

“He has expressed his personal sadness in having to leave the club but feels this is the right decision for him and his family.

“The time and the nature of this decision is met with disappointment from all of us and we have accepted his resignation with regret, but with understanding.

“We understand this news is disappointing, especially after the thorough recruitment process which brought Danny to the club.
