Steve Pitt has been unveiled as the next manager of FC Clacton.

The experienced former Wivenhoe Town boss beat off more than a dozen rivals to become David Coyle’s successor at the Rush Green Bowl.

Former Dragons assistant boss Michael Pulford will be his number two, while former Colchester United Phil Coleman joins as coach. Both work for the Colne Community College’s football academy in Brightlingsea.

Pitt was given the seal of approval by both Coyle and former Seasiders skipper Paul Hillier, who were involved in the process alongside chairman David Ballard and co-owner Stephen Andrews.

And he admitted being “flattered and excited” to have landed the job, having spent part of last season as assistant boss at Heybridge Swifts.

“I was looking for the right opportunity to get back into management and feel flattered and honoured to have been appointed by Clacton,” he told the Gazette.
