Managerial career

As manager of Lewes, he took them from the Isthmian League Division One South to the Conference National in five years. However after new owners took over, his contract was not renewed. He was appointed as manager of Conference team Northwich Victoria on 4 November. He resigned as manager on 21 February 2009, with the team second bottom of the Conference, citing problems off the pitch.

His next move was to Farnborough, where he signed a two-year contract in May 2009. In his first season, 2009–10, Farnborough were Southern League Premier Division Champions. In the 2010–11 season (despite a player embargo), Farnborough finished second in the Conference South only to lose 4–2 to Ebbsfleet United in the Play-off Final. He left the club at the end of the season, before returning to Lewes.

King was suspended by Lewes on 11 January 2012 pending an internal investigation.

On 18 January, Lewes announced that King had left his position by mutual consent.

In May 2012 he was appointed as manager of Macclesfield Town. In the 2012–13 FA cup King took non-league Macclesfield Town to the FA Cup 4th round. This was the furthest the club had got in FA Cup history. In the first round they comfortably dispatched League One high fliers Swindon Town 2–0. In the 3rd round King's men pulled off a shock result beating Championship table toppers Cardiff City, 2–1. They were drawn against Wigan Athletic of the Premiership in the 4th round. The Silkmen played out of their skin, to just suffer a 1–0 loss, the goal was a penalty early on. On 3 April 2013 – following a 3–1 defeat against Grimsby at the Moss Rose – King was sacked as Macclesfield manager alongside first team coach Pablo Asensio. A club statement stated that there had been "a number of off the field issues, including the day to day preparation of the team, which became a real concern. It was therefore necessary, in the best interests of the Football Club, to make this change."

On 10 February 2014, King returned to football management to take over at Conference South club Whitehawk. He kept them in the division in 2013–14, and led them to the play-off final in 2014–15 and the second round of the 2015–16 FA Cup. After a poor run of league form which saw the club fall out of the play-off positions, picking up just 9 points from the previous 36 available, King left Whitehawk by mutual consent in February 2016.
