Penryn Athletic FC are expected to announce their new manager on Friday following Andy Parry's shock decision to quit this week.

Parry took over the first team last summer, following many successful years in charge of their reserve side.

This season he led the club to their best finish, of third, in the Calrsberg South West Peninsula League division west.

Only last week he also picked up the club's first piece of silverware in senior football by guiding his team to a 3-1 win over St Dennis in the final of the Durning Lawrence Charity Cup.

However, Parry told the Penryn FC board of his decision to quit the club on Tuesday night.

The club will not be without a manager for long though as secretary Mike Young announced that they had received a application for the job within 12 hours of Parry leaving.

It is expected that the club will announce the name of their new manager following a meeting tonight (Thursday).
