Brian Adamson does not know if he has a future in football after relinquishing the management reigns at Corinthian Casuals.

The 57-year-old underwent a triple heart bypass two months ago and was advised by his consultant to take a complete break from football until November to aid his recovery.

That has left his assistant, Kim Harris, as the new manager at King Geroge's Field and Adamson pondering whether he will ever return to the dug-out.

"Kim said he would look after the team until November when I could come back and carry on," said Adamson.

"But I don't think that is fair, if I want to get back involved then I will come and give him a hand.

"Kim is the new manager of Corinthian Casuals and I will stay away from it all.

"I didn't have to listen to the consultant when he said I should take six months off but it would be silly not to.

"Football is my life and I have been at Casuals a long time, perhaps too long, but I don't know what will happen in November.

"Kim has left the door wide open for me and I am very grateful for that.

"I am quite pleased at the moment not to be chasing players as I don't feel I have the energy for that yet.

"But, maybe when everyone is going back to pre-season training and I am not, will be when it hits me more.

"I know I am going to miss it but it is just a matter of adapting."

Adamson was forced to watch from afar as Casuals survived relegation on the last day of the Ryman Division One South season and was a spectator when they beat Leatherhead to win the Surrey Senior Cup.

"It was frustrating for me having to watch that," he said.

"I was easy in the early days as with the operation I was quite uncomfortable and it was difficult to move around.

"You are a bit marooned so it is difficult to poke your nose in and it was easy to sit back.

"When you have had a scare like that your health comes first, you let other people get on with your business and the football.

"You have to make that decision."
