Jimmy Dean
Renowned non league football manager Jimmy Dean has a multitude of experience with 4 promotions, 3 titles and 12 trophies during 6 full seasons. Known for his attacking style of play he engages with his team with passion and energy and is known for his winning mentality. Following a successful time at Peterborough sports Jimmy moved onto full time professional management at National league side Scunthorpe United finishing second in his only full season and leaving after playoff heartbreak with a defeat on penalties. He joined Spalding United last season when they were bottom of the league and after a tough first few months, ended up finishing a respectful 7th place, narrowly missing out on the playoffs.
Chris Plummer
Chris kicked off his career for Queens Park Rangers in the Premier League, then joined Barnet before moving on to Peterborough United and finally Rushden & Diamonds. Chris also won caps for England u21's. He then continued his career stepping in as assistant manager alongside Jimmy Dean at Peterborough sports and Scunthorpe united, followed by his current post as assistant manager at Spalding United.
