IAN ALLINSON has returned to Boreham Wood as director of football just a month after quitting as the club’s manager.
Allinson stepped down as boss following eight years in charge after the club’s decision to switch to daytime training.
Assistant manager Luke Garrard was given the top job but the pair have now been reunited with Allinson acting as Wood’s director of football.
The club are currently 20th in the National League following promotion from the Conference South last season. They picked up a big three points at Bromley on Tuesday night with a 2-1 win.
Wood boss Garrard said “It is the perfect appointment, it felt right. I have been through so much with Ian and I know exactly what I will be getting from him. I’ve asked him to be honest with me and to tell me what he sees and I trust him on that.
“He knows the club, the players and the staff and understands the emphasis is on remaining in this league. I look forward to working alongside Ian again and hope it’s as successful as when I was his assistant.”
Allinson added: “I have been speaking to the chairman and Luke over the past few days and both conversations went extremely well. I was very impressed with what both had to say and what was expected of me and how the position would fit in around my day job.
“This football club has been a big part of my life and to take this club to the Conference National league with the support of the chairman and Luke last season was a great achievement and one I’m very proud of.”
