Longest serving manager in British football.

Is now ex Baggie Gary Hackett at Stourbridge FC.

15 years to this point.

Just shows how short a managers life expectancy is. 3 years at a club is the average.

Im afraid not Mick. My local manager of Folkestone Invicta joined the club in 1996. Got a massive game tomorrow against play off rivals Dulwich Hamlet. Only a small club Invicta and punched well above their weight this year.

BBC Midlands Today just confirmed Gary Hackett as the longest serving manager.

Looks like you’re right.

Lazy reporting by BBC and me.

And the Invicta manager is...

His name is Neil Cugley. I used to play in the same team as him in his younger days.

Nice article about Neil in The Sun
