Southern League Premier Division South Bracknell Town have announced the departure of manager Adam Hopkins.

The Robins drew 2-2 at home to Frome Town on Saturday, ending a run of four league defeats but were beaten 3-2 on Tuesday night by Step 4 Windsor & Eton in the Berks & Bucks County FA Senior Men’s Cup.

Hopkins was appointed on July 17, on the eve of the new season replacing Carl Davies and Sean Miles who had led the club to 12th place last season.

That match was the final one of Hopkins reign with the Robins having spent the last three match days in the divisions bottom four.

Previously manager of Yateley United, Hopkins oversaw a promotion via the play-offs for the Hampshire side at Step 6 last season and had previously led Sandhurst Town to promotion.

A statement posted on social media from Bracknell Town said:

Bracknell Town Football Club can confirm that the club and Adam Hopkins have mutually agreed that he will step down as First Team Manager.

Adam has been part of Bracknell Town for many years and is one of the club’s biggest supporters. Anyone who knows Adam knows how much this club means to him. Throughout his time in charge, he had Bracknell Town’s best interests at heart and gave his time and energy to a club he genuinely cares about.

We want to thank Adam for everything he has given to Bracknell Town, both since taking charge in July and over his many years of involvement with the club. We wish him all the very best and look forward to welcoming him back to Bottom Meadow.

We would also like to extend our thanks to Scott Rees, who joined us on a temporary basis to assist with the first team squad. We appreciate the time he gave and the support he provided to the players and staff.

As we prepare for our next fixture, thank you to everyone who backs the team at Bottom Meadow and travels to support us away from home. The players feel that support every week, and we look forward to seeing you at our next game.

The club will make an announcement about the new management team in due course.

Bracknell have a little breathing room to appoint a new manager with the next Southern League fixture away to Havant & Waterlooville on Tuesday 17th November.

Football in Berkshire’s Tom Canning said: “As with every new managerial appointment, the next one for the Robins is particularly crucial, with a period of stability ideally, having had seven First Team managers since January 2024. The club has averaged a new manager every five months since Jordan Ive’s first appointment.”
