Kieron Dyer Leaves Chesterfield to Take up Head Coach Role
The former Newcastle United and England midfielder begins his first managerial role after coaching at Ipswich Town and Chesterfield.
- Former Newcastle United and England star Kieron Dyer has been appointed manager of National League club Southend United, signing an initial two-year deal at Roots Hall.
- Previously, Dyer coached within the Ipswich Town academy and served as first-team coach at League Two club Chesterfield, while also shadowing managers Vincent Kompany and Craig Bellamy to prepare for this role.
- The 47-year-old made over 250 appearances for Newcastle during an eight-year stay, enjoying his most successful playing period under former manager Sir Bobby Robson.
- "I’m really excited to get started," Dyer said, aiming to reach the Football League with a team that will "try to dominate the ball and play with such a high intensity."
- Dyer replaces former manager Kevin Maher, who departed the Shrimpers recently, concluding a search that ended speculation linking South Shields manager Ian Watson to the managerial vacancy.
