Macclesfield Town chairman Rob Bickerton has announced that he will leave his position following his club's clash with Morecambe next weekend.
Bickerton has been at the helm at Moss Rose for just over five years, but believes that the time is right for a change.
He told the club's official website: "I have been on the board for seven years and chairman for five and I think it's the right time for me to seek new challenges.
"Five years in a role like this is a long time and it's hard for anyone outside the football industry to realise just how time consuming it can be.
"I would like to think that I leave the club in a healthier, more competitive position than it was when I joined the board.
"There is no doubt that competing at this level in football is getting more and more challenging but we have a clear and sound financial situation."
