Ebbsfleet manager Daryl McMahon has left the club by mutual consent.

He departs just three days before Fleet's FA Cup first round tie against Cheltenham Town.

McMahon signed a five-year contract at Stonebridge Road in 2017 after securing promotion to the National League.

Fleet made the play-offs in their first season back up before eventually losing to Tranmere in extra-time.

But they've found things more difficult this season and McMahon leaves with Fleet sitting 15th in the table.

Ebbsfleet chairman Dr Abdulla Al-Humaidi said: "Daryl has worked tremendously hard in getting this club into the National League and consolidating us there.

"Naturally, this is a disappointing day for myself and the board in parting ways with someone who has been part of the very fabric of our club for the past three years.

"However, we believe it is the right decision for the club at this point in our development on and off the field.

"We wish Daryl all the very best in his future career and reiterate our thanks for all he has accomplished in getting the club to its current position."
