The Yeovil Town job was Danny Webb's second as a manager - he had a brief stint in charge of Leyton Orient in early 2017

Yeovil Town manager Danny Webb has resigned from his role after just one match in charge.

The former Chesterfield coach moved to Huish Park earlier this month to replace the sacked Mark Cooper.

Webb has cited personal and family reasons for stepping down and becoming Yeovil's shortest-reigning permanent manager in their history.

Under his brief tenure he oversaw a 1-0 loss at Tamworth on Saturday, leaving the club 17th in the National League.

The club have promoted coach Richard Dryden - who was previously in interim charge - to manager for the rest of the season.

"He has expressed his personal sadness in having to leave the club but feels this is the right decision for him and his family," a Yeovil Town statement read, external.

"The time and the nature of this decision is met with disappointment from all of us and we have accepted his resignation with regret, but with understanding.

"We understand this news is disappointing, especially after the thorough recruitment process which brought Danny to the club. While we respect his need to put his family first, our priority now has to be the team's stability and success."

Yeovil's board said they will back Dryden - who won two of his three games in charge as interim boss between mid-August and earlier this month.

Town are currently two points off the National League relegation places after 10 games.

"He (Dryden) will be given the necessary resources to keep the squad competitive on the pitch through an increased budget," the Yeovil statement added.

"We are asking for your unwavering support as we head into the next fixtures. Let's stand together and get behind Richard and the team."
