Dagenham & Redbridge appoint Andy Carroll as interim boss after axing Lee Bradbury

By Tom Blackett

Dagenham & Redbridge have placed Andy Carroll in interim charge following the decision to part company with manager Lee Bradbury.

It comes just two weeks after YouTube star KSI was unveiled as a new part owner in the National League South club, and despite Daggers beating Farnborough 3-2 on Tuesday night.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge was in the stands, alongside Carroll, as they beat Dorking Wanderers earlier this month.

Bradbury was appointed in the summer following the club’s relegation from Non-League’s top flight. He leaves the team six points outside the play-offs.

Interim

Former Newcastle United, Liverpool and England striker Carroll also arrived in the close season as a player-shareholder, although he has been ruled out for the rest of the season with injury.

“We are very grateful to Lee for his focus, professionalism, and commitment during his time at the Club and for his contributions, both on and off the pitch, to stabilise the club last summer.

“Dagenham & Redbridge wish him every success in his future endeavours.

“Andy Carroll will take the team on an interim basis, and further updates will be communicated in due course.”
