One of the unsung heroes in Whitstable’s management team has spoken glowingly of his relationship with boss Marcel Nimani. Performance analyst Ben Maci was taught by Nimani, who works as head of PE at a school in Maidstone.

Nimani then brought Maci, still only 22, to Sheppey initially before he followed him and coach Craig Coles to The Belmont last season.

Maci said: “I’m grateful to have the people that I have at the club. “Marcel got me to Sheppey and brought me along to Whitstable. “I’m very grateful to be given the opportunity to do what I do.

I’m just an extra pair of eyes. “I’m fairly young, really, and only came out of uni last year. It’s just about making their jobs easier. “Marcel is someone I have known for a few years.
