Former Tottenham and England forward Jermaine Defoe has been announced as the new manager of Woking, a club competing in the National League, the fifth tier of English football. Woking Football Club is pleased to confirm the appointment of Jermain Defoe as the club’s new Manager. Defoe succeeds Neal Ardley at a time when the team is in 11th place, with seven matches remaining in the season. This will be the former England international's first experience as a head coach, after serving as an assistant to Gerrard at Rangers and working with Tottenham's youth teams. His debut on the sidelines is scheduled for Friday, April 3, against Eastleigh. Until then, the interim coaching staff, consisting of Craig Ross, Jake Hyde, and Dale Gorman, will continue to lead the team, including in the Tuesday night match against Altrincham. In his first statements, Defoe expressed excitement about the new challenge. 'Woking is a historic club with enormous potential, and I am excited to be part of this exciting project. I can’t wait to get started,' he stated. Defoe's presentation is set for Wednesday morning.
