In an attempt to turn the team around it has been decided with agreement from both parties involved that Phil De Monte will step down as Head Coach of the Berkshire Renegades with immediate effect.
Renegades General Manager Oliver Raffle said, "This is not a reflection on the abilities of Coach De Monte who has worked hard for our program, but action is needed to get the team going in the right direction. While this is a difficult decision to make mid-season, we hope that this course of action will help settle and reinvigorate the team. The Berkshire Renegades management is committed to having a positive and successful program and I wish Coach De Monte the greatest of success in the future. For the near future, Assistant Head Coach Paul Gordon and I will be working with the players and management to turn our season around and find the best person for our program in the future."
Coach De Monte stated, "I am greatly saddened, but in full agreement with the decision of Oliver and the Renegades management. The team needs something to turn them around, and this just may be the thing to do that. I came to Reading from Farnham, which is testament to show how much I believe in the Renegades program. The steps taken to work with the Farnham Fast Lane Knights and the NHBAFO has had positive impact on the Renegades. Something needs to be done to take them to the next stage, and if it means me leaving the program to kick start things, so be it. I wish Oliver and the team all the very best of everything."
