The manager of AFC Fylde has resigned after he was charged with sexual assault this week.
In a brief statement, the Coasters say the board have accepted the resignation of James Rowe following a meeting earlier today.
Assistant Manager, Andy Taylor, will take temporary charge until a new manager is appointed.
The Club say there will be no further comment from anyone at this time.
Rowe will appear in court in November after being charged with sexual assault.
In a statement from Derbyshire Constabulary, they say in January this year, they received reports of a man having sexually assaulted a woman in Chesterfield, with the offence alleged to have taken place in November 2021.
Rowe, 39, of Breaston, in Derby, has been charged and is due to appear before magistrates at Chesterfield Justice Centre on Monday 7th November.
AFC Fylde are currently fourth in National League North after drawing 2-2 with Spennymoor Town on Tuesday evening.
Rowe left Chesterfield by mutual consent in February with the club top of the National League.
