Steve Pitt to continue as Braintree Town manager after relegation

Steve Pitt will remain the manager of Braintree Town following their relegation from the National League. Despite a challenging season where the team won only eight of 46 league matches and finished next to bottom, Pitt has confirmed his commitment to the club. A transfer embargo is expected to be lifted soon, as the club anticipates a £175,000 payment from FIFA related to defender Tommy Smith's World Cup participation with New Zealand. Pitt has already arranged a pre-season schedule and is working on recruitment, having appointed Tom Austin as his assistant and Stefan Robson as goalkeeping coach.
