The vastly experienced manager brings a wealth of experience with him, including taking temporary charge of England, as well as a stint at the helm of Leicester City in the Premier League.

With over 800 games as manager to his name, Taylor has also had spells in charge of Crystal Palace, Hull City and Brighton and Hove Albion, and will be in the dugout at Park Drive for this weekend’s home fixture against Wroxham.

Mitchell Cowling, General Manager at Maldon and Tiptree said of the appointment: “I am delighted to welcome Peter Taylor to Maldon and Tiptree FC. His wealth and knowledge is second to none and I am excited for everyone involved with the club to start working with him.”

And Jammers fans can hear from the new manager first after an interview on Thursday.
