Hakan Hayrettin steps down
Danny Searle takes over
Hakan Hayrettin has stepped down from his role as First Team Manager at Braintree Town with immediate effect to join (we have been told) new manager John Still as his number two at Maidstone United. The Board will discuss the matter tomorrow night. In the interim, we have asked Assistant Manager Danny Searle to take on the First Team Manager role and he has kindly agreed to help us.
Chairman Lee Harding thanked Hakan for his second spell at the Club: "When Hakan offered to help in October, we'd won only once in fifteen matches and then, with the same players, immediately picked up seven points from the next three games.
Sadly, with some players not secured on contract, it was then easy for other clubs to tempt some away, and results then suffered. Recently we've seen the benefits of the re-building work that both Hakan and Danny have been putting in place and results over the past month or so have started to improve. We wish Hakan all the best for the future.
Looking forward, we have sixteen cup finals and forty-eight points up for grabs. Personally, I believe we still have something to play for this season and so ask you all to get behind Danny and the lads - starting at Hartlepool on Saturday. Come on you Iron!"

From the BBC website: Hakan Hayrettin: Braintree Town manager 'steps down to join Maidstone'Hakan Hayrettin was sacked following Braintree's relegation from the National League in 2017 but returned to the club this seasonHakan Hayrettin has stepped down as Braintree Town manager to join their National League rivals Maidstone United, the Essex club have said.
Hayrettin was in his second spell as Iron boss and leaves Braintree bottom of the table, nine points from safety.
Braintree's statement claims Hayrettin, 48, will join John Still - who left his head of football role at Barnet earlier on Wednesday - at Maidstone.
Assistant boss Danny Searle will take over at Braintree on a temporary basis.
Maidstone - one place and three points above Braintree in 23rd - had issued a statement promising to announce an 'experienced new Head of Football' and new head coach on Thursday.
The Stones have not confirmed the appointments of either Still or Hayrettin.
"Hakan Hayrettin has stepped down from his role as first team manager at Braintree Town with immediate effect to join new manager John Still as his number two at Maidstone United," said Braintree's statement.
"When Hakan offered to help in October, we'd won only once in 15 matches and then, with the same players, immediately picked up seven points from the next three games.
"Sadly, with some players not secured on contract, it was then easy for other clubs to tempt some away, and results then suffered. We wish Hakan all the best for the future."

When I saw this I thought it isn't April 1 surely.
You couldn't make this stuff up - really you couldn't.

Brilliant. Well done everybody. A laughing stock? Whatever gave you that idea?
