STEVE Daniels has left his role of manager at Cradley Town by mutual consent, the News can confirm.
Daniels ended an eight month stay at the club following Saturday's 4-1 home defeat to Wolves Casuals.
Owner Trevor Thomas has moved swiftly to appoint former Oldbury Athletic boss Adrian Mander as a replacement. He will take charge of his first game at Malvern Town tonight.
Daniels arrived at Beeches View in January following the shock departure of Russell Dodd and began this season with high hopes.
But the Hammers have been winless since the opening day and exited the FA Cup at the hands of Continental Star last week.
