“I had had enough and wanted to try to look at other aspects of where my life is.
“I have been to a of games this season and over the last two months I have really got a bit of a hunger now, which is good for me to step back into a hot seat. I think the break has done me a world of good.”
Cox admitted he went back into management too soon after leaving Mansfield.

“I lost track of other things in my life - my children, my family - because of the hours I put into wanting to be successful.
“It took a lot out of me and, looking back at when I resigned, I really should have took a longer break away from the game than I did to mentally get myself back focused and have that fire in my belly that I’d had for the previous five or six seasons when I had done little but win football matches, which was good.”
The offers are certainly there already.
“I have had one or two approaches I didn’t think we right for me,” he said. “But I am in a good place now and you never know.
“There are a lot of people out of work at the minute but it may soon be the right time to put a foot back into it and try to replicate some of what I have done in the past.”
