Tisdale was the longest-serving manager in the Football League before he left his post with Exeter, having coached the Grecians for 12 years.

The 45-year-old said that he turned down a new contract to put "careful personal consideration" into where his career is heading.

Exeter announced Taylor's appointment via their official website and informed fans that he is due to issue a statement on Monday.
