Kevin Deeney has been put in charge at Irvine Meadow until the end of the season following the shock resignation of George Grierson on Friday.Deeney, Grierson's long-time assistant, steps up to the hotseat after talks with Medda chairman Robert Jeffrey and general manager Brian Lamb.He took the first team yesterday as they claimed a vital 1-0 away win at Hurlford in the West of Scotland League Premier Division.
And he told Ayrshire Football News he's taking the role on - at least on a short term basis - with Grierson's blessing after opting to go it alone for the first time in his coaching career.Speaking after yesterday game, Deeney said: "My plan is to keep going.
I spoke to Geordie and he said go-ahead, go and take it."It's not something I've ever wanted to do because Geordie has always been there.
I've always enjoyed being assistant because Geordie is a dead good guy to work with."But I spoke with Brian and Robert and they asked what do I want to do."I said I'll come today and take the team and I'll run it till the end of the season and we'll see what happens."They were happy with Geordie so they were like, 'we're happy with you and the backroom staff'."They don't want any upheaval or change.
