Folkestone Invicta can confirm that Tim Dixon has been appointed as interim manager following the departure of Andy Drury.

Tim played for Folkestone joining in the 1996/97 season – and has a wealth of experience, having held roles at Dover, Ramsgate, Hythe Town, Herne Bay and Faversham.

Chairman Josh Healey said: “I’m thankful that Tim has stepped in during an important time for the club.
He’s always been a huge supporter of Folkestone Invicta”

“His experience and knowledge of the team will be invaluable throughout this transitional period.”

Tim takes charge for the next two home fixtures with preparations underway for tomorrow’s match against Chichester City at the Alcaline Stadium.

The club has begun the process of appointing a permanent manager and further updates will be communicated in due course.
