New bosses installed at Dynamo and Quorn
LOUGHBOROUGH Dynamo and Quorn have both acted quickly to appoint new managers following the departures of Lee Attenborough at Dynamo and Cleveland Taylor at Quorn.
Dynamo have appointed Brad Munn as the new permanent head coach.
Munn joined the club in 2018 as assistant to former Dynamo boss Lee Attenborough and now he takes the reigns and said he relishes the challenge.
“I’m delighted to be able to continue the journey as Head Coach with the squad that myself and Lee have built together over the last four years. I’ve been involved with Dynamo in a number of different ways and to head up proceedings is definitely something to be proud of.
“I’ve been involved in management since the age of 24 and now to have an opportunity to help the club continue moving forward is a fantastic feeling.”
Munn started his career in the professional game with both Burton Albion and Mansfield Town before moving into the non-league game.
He joined the Moes as a player in the summer of 2014 before moving on to Coalville Town. After he retired from playing, Brad came and joined Lee Attenborough’s coaching staff at Dynamo with the two of them having played together on numerous occasions.
Brad is currently studying for his UEFA B License having worked his way up and collecting his previous badges.
Loughborough Dynamo CoChairmen Darren Rodgers and Ian Beech said: “We are delighted that Brad has agreed to stay on and become our permanent Head Coach. Having worked at the club for a few years, he provides the stability and leadership that the club needs to help us keep moving forward.
“We’re looking forward to working closely with him and seeing where the club goes under his management.”
The new manager at Quorn is Richard Lavery.
Lavery (44) comes to Quorn with vast experience in non-league football having played for Hinckley, Nuneaton, Telford and Barwell. Off the pitch he has also been assistant manager at Kettering Town and Nuneaton Borough but this is his first appointment as a manager in his own right.
He takes over from Cleveland Taylor who left Farley Way last month after a bad start to the United Counties League Premier Division North season which has left one of the pre-season promotion favourites struggling towards the bottom of the table.
Quorn chairman Stuart Turner said: “After the previous three months when the club moved from top to relegation under a previous appointment it was essential we got this right. I am sure we have. I look forward to working with Richard Lavery enormously.”
