Thompson took over as manager of Guildford City towards the end of the 1955–56 Southern League season, in which they won the title.[7] In May 1957, he was the pick of more than thirty applicants for the post of manager at Third Division South club Exeter City,[8] but lasted only until January 1958, when the club announced his departure by mutual agreement, though Thompson himself said he had been sacked.[9] A few days later, he was appointed manager of Southern League Worcester City, leading them to victory against Liverpool in the 1958–59 FA Cup and remaining in post until 1962.[10][11]
