Jordan Ive, the Bracknell Town manager, is up for a Berkshire Football Award in the category of Manager of the Season (Men’s Game).
Ive has only been in charge of the Robins since Christmas but is clearly well though of at Bottom Meadow with Bracknell on the cusp of the play-offs in the Southern League Premier Division South.
One nomination for the award said: “Jordan Ive has been an incredible manager/coach for Bracknell Town since he took over in December 2023. As you will see from the link shared he absolutely earned the right to become Manager. Jordan won the league in 2023 being manager of Sandhurst Town and there was no doubt he was the man for the job for Bracknell Town.
“He is an incredible manager/coach, his dedication to the game is immense and is a genuine soul. He is a brilliant role model for anyone looking to chase their dreams in making a football career, he just proves with time and perseverance you can make it to where you want to be. Jordan is extremely ambitions and I have no doubt he will get to where he wants to be. Anyone who has Jordan Ive as a manager, coach and friend is extremely lucky.”
