Dulwich Hamlet have confirmed that ex-Welling United and Braintree boss Bradley Quinton has been named as Hakan Hayrettin’s replacement.
The South Londoners have announced that Quinton has been handed the role until the end of the season.
Dulwich are six points above the bottom four but have played two fixtures more than four of the teams below them.
Dulwich chairman Ben Clasper said: “We have a lot of work ahead of us on and off the pitch as the path to improving results doesn’t start and end with the management team and the players, we believe there are other areas of the club where there are opportunities to improve how we are structured and how we function that will better prepare us for competing in this league and the one above.
“The board therefore took the decision to prioritise the appointment of someone who will assume responsibility for managing the team for the remainder of the season with a focus solely on improving results in the short term and getting the best out of a talented squad.
“This will then afford the board the time to complete its review of how to address some of the other issues in time to plan for next season and beyond, issues that we believe have contributed to the club’s under-performance in recent years.
“Through speaking and meeting with many candidates over the past week it became clear that Bradley has what we believe it will take to come into a challenging situation from his experience in this division to his time working within a fan owned club, and we were further encouraged by the feedback from those who have worked and played for him.
“His success with Braintree at the level above was also a bonus but our focus today is performing to the best of our ability in the Isthmian Premier as we know what this team is capable of achieving and believe Bradley is best placed to realise that potential.
“Danny Mills will continue to support the new management team as we integrate them into the club and prepare for the upcoming fixtures and we would like to thank Danny and Mark Marshall for their hard work in managing this period between managers.”
