Taylor was kept on but he failed to pick up a win from his opening seven matches, picking up just three wins before being sacked.

Solihull Moors released a statement announcing his departure.

It reads: “Solihull Moors can confirm that Matt Taylor has left the club with immediate effect.

“We would like to place on record our thanks to Matt for his commitment to the club and we wish him every success in his future endeavours.

“Terry Connor and Elliot Minto have also left and again we thank them for their time at the club.

“The search for a new manager begins immediately, but we are pleased to welcome back James Quinn who will take the team on Saturday for the game at Boston.

“We encourage all supporters to get behind Quinny and the team at Boston and beyond.”
