Jermain Defoe’s ‘Eye-Opening’ Managerial Journey at Woking Concludes After Four Months
Former England striker Jermain Defoe has left his first managerial role at National League side Woking after just four months and six league games, describing it as an “eye-opening experience.” The mutual agreement to part ways comes two weeks before the new season, with Defoe citing “circumstances” that made it impossible to continue.
Despite impressing the club with his coaching, analysis suggests off-field issues likely led to his abrupt departure, leaving Woking in a challenging position to find a new head coach so close to the season start.
