Kenny Jackett has decided to step away from his role at Gillingham Football Club due to medical reasons.
Having joined the Gills after the takeover in December 2022, Kenny was an integral part of steering the club away from the relegation zone in that season and laying the foundations for future success.
Kenny said: "I want to thank Brad and Shannon for the last couple of years, I've enjoyed working at Gillingham. In Mark the club has a great guy managing the team and I'm sure he and the club will do well. I wish everyone the best of luck for the rest of the season."
Speaking of Kenny's impact on the club, Brad Galinson said: "Kenny has been a calm and knowledgeable person to have around the club. His experience and contacts within the game have been invaluable and whilst we are sad to see him step down, Kenny's health is the most important thing and must be his sole focus. I'm grateful for what he has given to the club and I'm sure our fans will respect his and his family's privacy."
In Kenny's absence over the past couple of months, Joe Comper has worked closely day-to-day with Mark Bonner and Andy Hessenthaler who continue to oversee first-team and recruitment matters respectively.
As a club we thank Kenny for his contribution and commitment and wish him the very best for the future.
