Moving on - Kevin Maher has come back to Southend United from Bristol Rovers Picture: Richard Blaxall
BRISTOL Rovers chief executive Martyn Starnes felt the club could not stand in Kevin Maher’s way when Southend United came calling.
Maher, who had been part of Joey Barton’s backroom team at the Pirates, has been named head coach at Blues.
And Starnes was keen to wish the former Blues midfielder well.
"Kevin leaves with our best wishes and we would like to thank him for his service to the football club," said Starnes.
"Once the formal approach was made and knowing Kevin’s strong connections to Southend United, we couldn't stand in his way to pursue this opportunity and we wish him the very best of luck in his future career."
Maher joined Rovers in 2019 to team up with then manager Graham Coughlan, another ex Shrimper.
