Gordon Connelly has resigned as Forres Mechanics manager after only six games in charge – with Steven MacDonald now appointed Can-Cans boss.
Connelly succeeded Charlie Rowley in November and brought in MacDonald and Brian Macleod as assistant managers, but has now stepped down due to a change in personal circumstances.
During Connelly’s six games in charge the Mosset Park side picked up one point.
A statement from the Forres board read: “Due to a change in personal circumstances over the past few weeks, Gordon Connelly has decided he is no longer able to give the time and commitment required for the role of manager at Forres Mechanics Football Club.
“He therefore has decided to step away from football.
“Although the club is disappointed to lose Gordon, we fully respect his decision. We would like to express our thanks to him and wish him all the best.
“The board have acted swiftly and are pleased to appoint Steven MacDonald as manager with Brian Macleod assisting.”
