Kevin McDonald has stood down as Bradford City's caretaker manager to concentrate on playing.
As soon as he took the job the experienced Scottish midfielder said that combining the two roles would be difficult over a prolonged period, and as a result he will hand over to former co-manager Mark Trueman for Saturday's FA Cup first-round tie at home to Wycombe Wanderers as the search for Mark Hughes' replacement continues. McDonald's sixth and final match in charge will be Tuesday's Football League Trophy game against Manchester City Under-21s.
“This is a very important appointment and, as with any decision of this magnitude, a great deal of due diligence has been undertaken. “I would like to thank Kevin McDonald for stepping up and leading the side. “Kevin has conducted himself admirably throughout, both on and off the field, securing some important results for the club.
