Exwick Villa chairman Jim Webber says appointing Neil Pointing and Chris Clarke as joint player-managers was an easy decision to make.
The duo were given the roles after Danny Burwood and Mike Taylor were relieved of their duties following a poor first half of the campaign.
Both have been playing at the club for a number of seasons, meaning they are familiar with the Exeter side.
"Both are from the team. They still play and we are going to see how it goes for the next few weeks," said Webber.
"If they are happy then, as far as I am concerned, we are not looking for anybody else.
"It wasn't a difficult decision to make because both have been playing for the club for several years.
"They both know the club, the way it runs and the way we run it. We are a Peninsula League side that does not pay any money to any player or manager or anything – what you see is what you get and what you get is what you see with us."
Villa travel to Okehampton Argyle on Saturday looking to recover from a 6-0 defeat to St Martins.
Ben Smith scored four for the Saints – who go to Brixham at the weekend – with Ace High and Dan Norman also netting.
Okey defeated Plymstock United 4-1, with a Jason Cordice treble and Ross Voaden securing the three points.
Looking back on the St Martins defeat, Webber said that the performance was more positive than the result suggested.
"We are in a difficult position and Saturday's result wasn't good enough for us," he said.
"We had lots of the ball on Saturday, just like we did the week earlier against the university.
"We were not disappointed with the overall performance of the players, that is for sure. The managers were disappointed but nobody likes to lose 6-0.
"If losing 6-0 doesn't hurt you then you shouldn't be doing your job."
Elsewhere, Crediton United player-manager Matt Trenaman feels his side can draw encouragement from their defeat earlier in the season at Alphington when the two sides square off on Saturday.
A depleted Kirton outfit lost 3-2 at The Chronicles at the end of August last year.
But Trenaman thinks that the tight nature of the defeat, coupled with home advantage, should be enough for his team.
"They have done well this year but we went to their place earlier in the season and lost 3-2," he said.
"It was one of the first games and we had a lot of players away too so we can take a lot from that game and we will be looking to take points off them.
"Our home form has been pretty decent this season and that has propped us up a bit because away from home we need to improve.
"It will be tough. They are in the top eight and I think they have got ideas of finishing in the top six."
Kirton lost 3-0 at Teignmouth on Saturday, but they gave the league leaders a few scares.
It was their first game since a 2-0 win over Plymstock United five days before Christmas.
"I can't have too many complaints about the performance," Trenaman continued.
"I just think that lack of football maybe told on our part and 3-0 sounds comfortable but at times it was quite close.
"We started off quite slowly and looked like a side that hadn't played in four weeks."
The Alphas drew 2-2 with Brixham thanks to a double from Nick Murray.
The Teigns have a crunch clash with Exeter University on Saturday, with the Students having not played at the weekend.
