Ray Mathias has been asked to take charge of Stockport by their shareholders.
Speaking to the press after the game, Mathias said that caretaker boss Peter Ward had been asked to step aside after a disasterous run that had left them rooted to the foot of the table. Mathias took charge of last night's game, telling the press:
"We went to a shareholders meeting on Monday and it was decided that Peter would be stepping down and I was asked to move up. I have taken charge at Accrington but me and Peter will have a good talk on Wednesday about the situation.
"Peter was shocked, but we are all in this for Stockport County and that's the main thing - trying to keep them up. We have 10 games left and we need 30 points. It is a big issue and I want to think about it.
"I was in charge of the performance and it wasn't very good and we`ve got to improve. We have a massive game on Saturday against Burton Albion and we are working to sort things out. My job is to try to keep Stockport in this division."
The 64 year old has had managerial experience with Wigan and Tranmere but has spent most of his time as a coach, most recently with Paul Ince at Macclesfield, MK Dons, and Blackburn. Stockport have earned just two wins in 13 games under Ward.
