Southern Counties East clubs Snodland Town, FC Elmstead, Greenways, Tooting Bec and Croydon looking for new managers while Canterbury City need a new assistant

There’s no shortage of vacancies in the Southern Counties East Football League after five managers and an assistant departed in just a few days.

The end of season at steps five and six have seen a flurry of managerial exits with Premier Division side Snodland Town the latest club to announce that their manager, Luke Wallond, was stepping down.

Wallond’s departure follows on from four first division managers leaving their posts in he past few days.

FC Elmstead, Greenways, Tooting Bec and Croydon will all have new managers taking over for the 2024/25 season while Canterbury City are seeking a new assistant boss after Sam Wilson announced his decision to leave the club.

Wallond leaves Snodland after an eighth-placed finish in the Premier Division, in their first season at the higher level, after he had led them to the Division 1 title last season.

Snodland finished this season with a thrilling 5-3 win against Welling Town - coming back from 3-1 down with two late goals to complete the turnaround.

The club said on Monday that they had “mutually agreed to part ways” and added: “We would like to thank Luke and his management team for all their hard work over the past four years, the highlight of which was securing promotion at the end of the 2022/23 season to the SCEFL Premier Division.

“Luke has become friends with many of our club members and supporters and we wish him all the best for the future.”

Greenways’ long-serving manager Rob Jeffery has opted to stand down after the team finished bottom of division one but he’s staying at the club, taking on a new role as co-chairman alongside Les Harpley.

Jeffery’s last match in charge was away at the champions AFC Whyteleafe which ended in an 8-3 defeat.
