Peter has stepped up and lead the club on multiple occasions in recent years and gave his all when we needed him most. He has been a terrific servant and I have no doubts he will go on to be a manager in his own right.
I know how it goes. If you lose those two games, I'm not in the conversation at all. I think we had two relatively-positive performances. Again, still so much about those that I'm not entirely happy about and want to keep improving on, but I think we've got things moving in a decent direction.
The 44-year-old, a coach under former Millis boss Paul Warne, initially took over as caretaker following the sacking of Steve Evans in 2025, and was appointed on a permanent basis in April last year. He departs with the club 22nd in League One with nine games of the season remaining.
We are very grateful to Paul for his hard work, professionalism and commitment during his time at the club. We thank Paul for his contribution, both on and off the pitch. Torquay United wish Paul every success in his future endeavours. Neil Warnock will take the team for Tuesday night's fixture with Farnborough and an update on interim arrangements will be communicated in due course.
What made it all the more special was that 18 months earlier, I looked to be on my way out of the club when Paolo Di Canio was there. He'd banished me and one or two others from the training ground. Don't get me wrong, some of his coaching sessions were enjoyable but there are ways and means of managing experienced pros and some of his man-management left a lot to be desired.
Plymouth Argyle head coach Tom Cleverley has received a third touchline ban of the season after admitting to a Football Association charge of misconduct. An independent regulatory commission handed the 36-year-old a one-match ban and a 2,000 fine after he was sent off shortly before half-time in Plymouth's EFL Trophy win over Bristol Rovers on 13 January. Cleverley received two yellow cards in quick succession after a decision went against his side and afterwards he said his reaction was "not good enough".

The 41-year-old is the clear favourite to take over from Gary Rowett, who was sacked before Christmas, reports BBC Radio Oxford. Craig Short will remain in interim charge for the FA Cup third round tie at MK Dons on Friday evening (19:30 GMT).
Caldwell, 43, has been in charge at Exeter City since 2022 but returns to the club where he spent six seasons as a player and 18 months in the dugout from April 2015. In his first spell, Caldwell could not prevent the Latics being relegated to League One but brought them back to the Championship as champions in 2016. He was, however, sacked in October of that year following a poor start to the season.
The pearly whites on display pitchside at Ashton Gate during the 5-0 win betrayed the "emotion-free" public persona the 46-year-old has curated in a year during which he has transformed the Rams from relegation battlers to promotion contenders. "It was a fantastic win. We've gone to a top team and won so I'm not going to be grumpy about that," Eustace told BBC Sport about the shot of emotion he afforded himself that late January night.
Paul Scholes tried his hand at management with Oldham Athletic For plenty of players, the end of their playing days means the start of a coaching career. Others, however, do not feel the urge to rush into football management and are content to take their time before making their next career move. Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes seemed to fall into this latter camp when he hung up his boots in 2013, only for sentiment to make him rethink his plans.
Watford head coach Javi Gracia has resigned after just over three months in the job following their 2-0 defeat by Swansea City. Gracia, who only returned for a second spell at Vicarage Road in October, called for a meeting with club owner Gino Pozzo following Saturday's loss, saying the team were in a "very difficult moment". Charlie Daniels, Dan Gosling and Adrian Mariappa are set to be in the dugout
When Paul Barber referenced growing fan impatience across large parts of the football landscape in his programme notes before Sunday's game against their arch rivals Crystal Palace, the Brighton chief executive must have feared what was to come. The clamour for change on the south coast that began as a murmur last spring after Fabian Hurzeler's side had collected one point from four Premier League matches and been knocked out of the FA Cup in the sixth round has been steadily building ever since.
