 Backe worked with Eriksson at Manchester City and Mexico
|
Notts County manager Hans Backe has stepped down from his role after just seven weeks in charge.
The 57-year-old was installed as successor to Ian McParland on a three-year deal on 27 October.
Backe, a friend and former assistant to director of football Sven-Goran Eriksson, announced his decision to the players before training this morning.
Last week the club's chairman Peter Trembling completed a takeover from Middle East owners Munto Finance.
When asked for his response to the news last Thursday Backe told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I am rather calm about it. I have no problems with it.
"I just focus on the football and leave the other things to Peter Trembling. What can you do about it? I just take it easy."
The Swede presided over just nine matches, his final game in charge was the 2-1 home defeat by Accrington Stanley on Saturday.
His departure is the latest twist in a saga stretching back over the last five months since Munto took over the League Two side.

606: DEBATE

Expectations were raised at Meadow Lane after the Middle East consortium arrived promising back-to-back promotions and talk of Premier League football.
Fans' hopes continued to elevate following Eriksson's appointment and a number of impressive signings, including Sol Campbell, during the summer.
But the Campbell move disintegrated into a high-profile debacle when he walked out after just one appearance.
Then McParland, a Magpies stalwart on the pitch over eight seasons, lost his manager's job despite Notts being fifth in the table.
The news that Munto Finance were selling up appeared to cast doubt on Eriksson's future at the club but Trembling's takeover meant those fears were calmed.
Now Backe's departure means the questions about the former England manager's role at Meadow Lane look to be raised again.
