At first the 47-year-old, who now is in charge of Boston United in the Conference North, said he was unemployed and was claiming Jobseekers’ Allowance and from March 2012 said he was in low paid employment.
In July 2012, Greene claimed he was unemployed again.
An investigation was launched after a tip off from a member of the public who contacted Huntingdonshire District Council and told them that Greene was manger of St Neots Football Club.
