AFC Rushden & Diamonds are pleased to announce that, following a short but successful interim period, Richard Maxwell will continue to lead the first team on an ongoing basis.
The response of the players and, in turn, fans to rekindle the spirit of togetherness across the Club was on display at the last two home matches and we look forward to continuing that this Saturday at home against Redditch United where we welcome a number of guests across our Women’s & Girls’ teams.
Richard, himself a UEFA B qualified coach, will work with the support of both Howard Willmott (UEFA A) and Gary Moss (UEFA B).
Richard has stepped down from his role on the Board of the Club to focus purely on leading the senior team.
Richard commented, “It was an easy decision to say yes, being a boyhood fan and having been involved in the Club’s Community, Walking Football and Academy. The players have shown real passion, desire, and importantly re-connection with the fans around the ground. I encourage all fans and members to join us home and/or away, let’s get behind the players and be our 12th man on the pitch.”
We wish him every success.
