Daryl McMahon has signed a new five-year contract as manager of Ebbsfleet United.

The 33-year-old will take charge of Fleet in the National League next season after leading them to play-off glory at Stonebridge Road earlier this month.

McMahon was appointed manager in April 2015 following Jamie Day's sacking and Ebbsfleet finished second in National League South in each of his first two seasons.

They lost to Maidstone in the 2015-16 play-off final but made amends with a 2-1 win over Chelmsford this season to return to non-league's top flight after a four-year absence.

Ebbsfleet owner Dr Abdulla Al-Humaidi said: "Daryl has done a brilliant job at this club, initially with the youth academy and for the past two years as first-team manager.

"The quality of the football played has been outstanding and despite the disappointment of losing the 2016 promotion final on penalties in his first full season, Daryl galvanised the squad and got his just rewards this season with promotion to the National League.

"He is dedicated and committed to this club and conducts himself so professionally at all times and is a great ambassador for the club.

"I want him to know how much we appreciate what he does and I want him to feel secure in his role; offering him this long-term contract demonstrates our confidence in his ability to continue the progress made in the last two years."

McMahon is currently in contract talks with members of his squad as well as meeting transfer targets.

He said: "Over the past two years the club has backed me 100% and as a young coach it is vital I have time to help me to develop as a manager and learn my trade without the pressure some managers face week on week.

"I love this club and feel totally comfortable with the support structure around me and our supporters can rest assured that I will be doing everything I can to move this club forward.

"I want to see the team and the stadium develop in tandem and I want to put this club on the football map.

"The supporters were brilliant towards me and the players last season – and if we can maintain the attendances we saw in the latter stages of last season I promise them that we will entertain them and always give total commitment to the cause."
