After being involved with the coaching set-up at Coleraine for over a decade Trevor McKendry says now is the right time to step down from his boyhood club.
McKendry said he has been "living the dream" since moving to The Showgrounds as part of Oran Kearney's backroom team in 2011.
The former Portstewart boss has played a key role in the Bannsiders' success in recent years and admitted it has broken his heart taking the decision to step away.
