K's announce managerial departure

Second half goals from Ben Greenhalgh and Nathan Wood earned Margate a vital win at Kingstonian last night- and the K's night then got even worse with the announcement that manager Spencer Knight was to leave as soon as a replacement had been found.

In a statement, Knight explained:

'A fantastic opportunity has arisen in my day job to take up a role overseas and it is one that, after long consideration with my family, we have decided to accept.

I will be taking up this role in March which, of course, will make my job at Kingstonian untenable.

However, I have offered to continue to manage the team whilst the Club look to recruit and appoint a new manager, and the offer has been accepted.'

Knight has been in charge since mid November, a period in which the K's have played ten league matches and win only one- a run which sees them currently one point and one place above the bottom four.

The K's have already advertised for a new boss, and you can read more about that by heading here.
