Elam and Hussain return to Eagles
7th May, 2023
Lee Elam and Asif Hussain have returned to the dugout at Toolstation NCEL Premier Division side Eccleshill United almost a year since their departure.
Their comeback was announced by the Eagles on Saturday after Ryan Toulson resigned from the role in midweek.
Elam left, along with his assistant, last summer due to family and work commitments after narrowly missing out on promotion to Step 4 in the Inter-Step Play-Offs.
This season, however, was a more difficult one for the Eagles in the league as they finished fifteenth in the Premier Division.
But, they enjoyed an excellent run in the Isuzu FA Vase, reaching the last sixteen of the competition for the first time in their history.
In a statement released on social media, the club also announced that Adrian Benson had stepped down as chairman.
