Rams FC manager Tony Russell ‘and management team’ depart club ‘with immediate effect’

Tony Russell leaves Rams FC after just 25 days as manager

The tenure of Ramsgate FC manager Tony Russell is over after less than a month.

Russell and assistant Joe Vines were appointed on June 10, three days after Ramsgate FC announced the club had “mutually agreed to part company with manager Ben Smith.”

During the 2023/24 season Ben had guided The Rams to the FA Cup 2nd round, a feat no other manager in the club’s history had achieved.

Today (July 5) Ramsgate FC announced the former Lewes manager and Vines had gone with ‘immediate effect.’

The club, which has had to cancel tonight’s game against Kennington FC, said: “Tony Russell and his management team have left Ramsgate Football Club with immediate effect.

“The application process for this role is now open. If you are interested in this position please e-mail [email protected]

“As a result of this tonight’s friendly vs Kennington is cancelled.”

The match was due to be played at the WW Martin stadium with a 7.30pm kick off.
