From Bury's official website
Assistant Manager Ian Miller has left Gigg Lane to take up a similar position with Championship side Leicester City.
Ian Miller, a former Shakers player who played 15 times from the club in the early seventies, joined Bury in December 2005 as assistant to Chris Casper.
As a coach, Ian pressed his own style quickly onto the squad and became a firm favourite with all the players.
This morning the players were told that Ian had left.Leicester manager Rob Kelly is a good friend of Ian's and on Friday afternoon, Ian received a call from Rob Kelly offering him the job.
Ian will join the Foxes with immediate affect.Although disappointing for the club, director Ian Harrop was quick to state 'that the club would never stand in the way of anyone joining a club further up the league.'
All at the club would like to thank Ian for his help, support and friendship over the last eight months and we wish him well and every success at the Walker Stadium.
Manager Chris Casper commented on Dusty's departure this morning and said: 'It came as a real bolt out of the blue on Friday afternoon.Obviously I can't stand in his way; Leicester will be able to offer him more money. They are a big club and I would never stand in anyone's way to go to a Championship Club."
"He's a fantastic bloke and he did a lot of work behind the scenes here. He helped me out enormously with his experience and he will be greatly missed."
