Scott Davies has departed Slough Town to become the new manager of Enterprise National League Aldershot Town.
The now former Rebels boss has ended a near eight-year association with Slough to take on one of his former clubs. Undoubtedly Davies’ era will be regarded a success with memorable FA Cup runs and a knack for finding a crowd pleasing player or two.
He made 292 appearances scoring 17 goals during his time at Arbour Park as a player. He took over from Jon Underwood and Neil Baker during the 2022/23 season.

Writing on the Rebels website, CEO Ashley Smith said the move was ‘inevitable’: “Sadly, this outcome was inevitable due to Scott taking to management so easily. On a personal level, he has been an absolute pleasure to work with. The fact that his personal and football values were aligned made him the perfect person for myself and A23 Football ownership from the beginning.
“Scott is hugely ambitious, and to date we have had several approaches for him. However, this was slightly different due to the nature of Scott’s emotional tie to Aldershot Town. I’m proud Scott has been our manager. We have backed him and always ensured he felt that.
“During Scott’s tenure, we have had some memorable moments which have created lifelong memories. Success on and off the pitch has been evident and has made the journey so rewarding.
“Scott has become a dear friend, so this makes it all the more difficult. Myself and the board would like to personally thank Scott for the tireless work and commitment he has shown to this wonderful club.
“We wish Scott every success in his exciting new chapter. We now embark on our own new chapter, one that brings excitement and optimism as we look to find the next person to lead the club forward.”
For Slough now, attention turns to Davies successor as the club regroups following the end of the National League South season.
