DARREN KELLY'S brief spell in charge of FC Halifax Town has come to an end following Saturday's thrashing at the hands of Braintree.
Kelly had only been in charge of the Shaymen for 47 days, after replacing Neil Aspin, but the club have struggled since his arrival, especially defensively.
They conceded 37 goals in his ten games in charge with the 6-3 humbling at home to Braintree proving the final straw with Kelly departing the club on Tuesday night.
The former Oldham Athletic boss, 36, won two of his ten games at the helm and the Shaymen are now bottom of the Vanarama National League – ten points from safety.
A Halifax statement said: “Following a disappointing run of league results, it's been mutuality agreed between the board and Darren Kelly that he steps down from his position at FC Halifax Town.
“Notwithstanding a back drop of difficult circumstances and a short time period, it's been felt that an up-lift in performance and results has not been forthcoming – despite further first team investment.”
