Darlington FC have parted company with manager Mark Cooper.
Quakers chairman Raj Singh said on the club website;
It s with huge regret that we part company with both Mark and Richard - nobody wanted it to work more than me.
I feel that I built up an excellent working relationship with Mark over the last 16 months and I d like to thank him and Richard for their hard work and dedication and, of course, for bringing us the club s greatest day ever with the FA Trophy win at Wembley.
I make every single decision in the best interests of the club and I ve thought long and hard about this situation for a few weeks, while also speaking to a lot of people I know in the game, and eventually I ve come to this very reluctant conclusion.
Mark and Richard worked tirelessly to make it work but it just wasn t happening and, as everyone knows, football is a results business.
But we leave on good terms. Mark was a pleasure to work with, I consider him a friend and I wish him all the best in the future.
