NEW Hucknall Town joint boss Gary Sucharewycz says he has no intention of playing for the club again.
Sucharewycz, who had three spells with the club as a player, has been out of football for a year through injury.
"I will sign on, but I will only play in a dire emergency," said Sucharewycz.
It might have surprised some fans to see Sucharewycz return to Watnall Road in a managerial capacity.
"It was always on the cards for me," said Sucharewycz, who works in tandem with Ian Robinson and player-coach Ali Asher.
"I live in Hucknall so this is the perfect job for me. I am passionate about it.
"I've got a lot of affection for the club. I think I first played for them about 15 or 16 years ago.
"I was fortunate to be there for the good run under Dean Barrick.
"It is a great little club and it is our job to help move it forward.
"It is going to be hard because the budget is tight. But I have played in teams with no big earners that have done well.
"As long as you have a good set of lads and a good team spirit you have got a chance."
Sucharewycz and Robinson, who had been linked with a move to Eastwood Town, have been busy since they took over.
They have signed highly-rated keeper James Spencer on loan from Grantham, Nottingham University student James Martin, experienced defender Matt Milns, Perry Marriott from Eastwood and Arnold striker Tris Whitman.
