Football

The National League South club has appointed striker Andy Carroll as caretaker manager following the dismissal of Lee Bradbury.

Dagenham & Redbridge have named Andy Carroll as caretaker manager. The former England international takes temporary charge of the first team at Victoria Road after the club sacked Lee Bradbury. The decision follows a period of poor results that left the side in the lower half of the National League South table, according to the Evening Standard.

Bradbury departed the club alongside assistant manager David Jupp. Carroll joined the Daggers as a player in early 2026 and now steps into his first managerial role. The appointment coincides with reports of influencer KSI being involved in a fresh investment or arrival at the club, per Sky Sports.

Club officials confirmed Carroll will lead training sessions immediately. The board continues to search for a permanent successor to Bradbury. The Daggers next face a league fixture as they attempt to improve their current standings, according to the Guardian. Carroll remains registered as a player for the National League South outfit during this interim period.
