Gateshead only won eight points from their final 12 games to miss out on the National League play-offs by a point

Gateshead boss Carl Magnay has resigned after less than nine months in charge.

The 36-year-old former Heed defender was appointed manager after Rob Elliot left to take over Crawley in October last year.

They were two points off National League leaders Barnet after a 4-3 win over Hartlepool on Boxing Day but won just five of 22 games after the turn of the year and missed out on a play-off spot with a final-day draw against Southend.

After the game against the Shrimpers, Magnay told BBC Radio Newcastle the end of the season had been "a disaster".
