March 18 : Former England striker Andy Carroll has added the role of interim manager to his growing list of responsibilities at non-league side Dagenham & Redbridge, where he already serves as both player and part-owner.
Carroll, who has previously played for Liverpool, West Ham United and Newcastle United in the Premier League, joined the sixth-tier club on a three-year contract in July last year.
He scored six goals in 12 appearances in the National League South but has been sidelined by injury in recent months. The 37-year-old's investment in the club was confirmed last month when he became a shareholder, and he now replaces Lee Bradbury as manager.
Carroll's appointment came on the heels of YouTuber KSI's arrival at the club as a shareholder and strategic partner earlier this month.
Dagenham & Redbridge are 12th in the league standings with 56 points from 39 matches.
