Former Cherry Defoe Appointed Manager of National League Side
Defoe, 43, takes over at National League Woking after Neal Ardley's sacking, bringing coaching experience from Tottenham Hotspur and Rangers, with the club currently 11th in the table.
- Woking Football Club has appointed former Tottenham Hotspur striker Jermain Defoe as permanent manager, marking his first full-time head coach role with the National League side.
- Defoe, 43, succeeds Neal Ardley, who was sacked earlier this month. The former England striker scored 20 goals in 57 appearances during his distinguished playing career.
- Defoe brings coaching experience from Tottenham's academy and Rangers FC, where he worked under Steven Gerrard. He joins assistant coach Paul Bracewell and interim staff Craig Ross, Jake Hyde, and Dale Gorman.
- Ross and Hyde will manage Tuesday's home league game against Altrincham as interim leads. Woking currently sits 11th in the National League table following a 1-1 draw last Wednesday.
- Chairman Todd Johnson said the club has a "clear plan" for development and believes Defoe is the right person to build on existing foundations and drive future success.
