• The club indicated that Bentley will remain at Morecambe in an unspecified new role, contributing his experience as the club rebuilds after recent challenges. A club statement emphasized his value as an ambassador and his ongoing involvement in the club’s strategic plans.[1]

• There are older, related references noting Bentley’s past managerial roles at Other clubs (e.g., Rochdale and Morecambe earlier in his career), but the current, most recent development centers on his transition away from full-time management at Morecambe and into a wider club-support role.[2][5]

• For broader context on his public profile, there are interview snippets and coverage from football outlets and local press, including a 2026 YouTube interview where he discusses career moves, though it’s more about recent career steps than a major competitive update.[4]

If you’d like, I can pull the exact club statement text, summarize the key dates, and look for any quotes from club officials or Bentley himself to add precise wording and citations.
