Hampshire manager Paul Terry will stand down at the end of the season, BBC Radio Solent reports.

The 49-year-old told his players of his decision at a team meeting on Monday.

"Results haven't gone the way I or the club would have liked, I feel it's the right time to stand aside and give them time to find someone else," he said.

Hampshire are third from bottom of Division One of the LV County Championship and are bottom of Division One of the Pro 40.

Terry, who now resides in Australia, has been in the post since 2002.

I'm of the belief that if you rely on your overseas players then you're not going to be a particularly strong squad Paul Terry

He added: "You get driven by results but they haven't been good enough this year, we haven't done all the disciplines well enough, particularly our batting and catching.

"Things haven't gone to plan with overseas signings, Shane Bond had a few injuries, Shane Watson had to pull out a week or so before he was due here but we've been lucky with our current one Imran Tahir.

"But I'm of the belief that if you rely on your overseas players then you're not going to be a particularly strong squad."

Terry oversaw the clubs C&G Trophy win in 2005 and helped them gain promotion back to Division One of the County Championship in 2004.
