However, after eight months in the role the non-league side have parted ways with Taylor.

A statement on X said: “Maldon and Tiptree FC would like to announce the departure of our 1st team manager, Peter Taylor.

“We sincerely thank Peter for his dedicated time with the club and the contributions he has made during his tenure. We wish him all the best.”

Club General Manager, Mitchell Cowling added on Pitchero: “Making this decision so early into a season was not an easy one.

“I had a lengthy conversation with Peter and expressed my apologies for the need to implement changes to the club’s structure.

“I want to clarify that this decision is not based on results or performance, but rather a strategic direction I believe is necessary.

“I value Peter’s dedication and hard work, and I will be wishing him success and rooting for him in his future endeavours.”

Maldon & Tiptree began their season with a 2-2 draw against Felixstowe & Walton United.

His overall record with the club was played 12, won five, drawn three, lost four.

Current 1st Team assistant manager, Liam Bailey will take interim charge of the team.

Taylor became caretaker manager of England in 2000, after Kevin Keegan resigned from the job.
