Description


A manager of a local league club has been named the longest-serving football coach in the world.

Brent Peters joined Bacup Borough FC on 1 September 1997, initially expecting to stay until the end of the season.

But, 25 years later and he is still at the helm of the Lancashire club - not only taking on the managerial roles, but also those of the groundsman, repair man and also driving the team's coach.

He is now believed to be the longest-serving manager after Neil Cugley decided to step down as manager for Folkestone Invicta FC at the end of October.
