Tucker, who has had two stints at Wick and managed Pagham since stepping down from his Blues role back in 2012, was announced as Rustington boss again yesterday.

A remarkable turnaround sees Tucker back in management just over a week after he decided to step down from his role as Wick boss for a second time.

Tucker takes over a team currently struggling in Southern Combination League Division 2, two leagues below his former side Wick.

Blues are yet to collect a point from eight league matches but chairman Trevor Waller believes Tucker will turn things around.

He said: “Jon started out here and it’s great to have him back.

“He’s a lot more experienced than when he was here before and it’s a great coup to get him back.

“Hopefully he’ll be able to bring a couple of additions and shape the squad.”

Tucker was in attendance as Blues suffered a 4-0 home defeat at the hands of league leaders Bosham on Saturday.
