Ipswich Wanderers are delighted to announce the appointment of Mark Benterman as the new first team manager.

Mark will commence the position next week and will manage the 1st Team at home to Godmanchester Rovers tomorrow.

There was much interest in the post, made available when Shane Wardley stepped down after just over a year in charge.

Mark is currently the 1st Team Manager at Debenham Leisure Centre FC who play in the Thurlow Nunn Division One, one step below Wanderers.

Previously, Mark successfully managed Essex club Halstead FC, also in Division One.

The Appointing Committee feel that Mark has the right combination of experience and enthusiasm to take Ipswich Wanderers forward and to take us to new heights as we aim to climb the Premier Division ladder. We feel that the appointment of Benterman reflects the ambition that Wanderers have to play at the highest possible level.
