Dagenham & Redbridge have parted ways with former manager Lee Bradbury with the club sitting 12th in the National League South Image Credits: Imago Images KSI’s arrival at Dagenham & Redbridge was always going to shake things up, and it hasn’t taken long for that promise to be felt in the dugout. The 48‑year‑old had only been in charge for about seven months and was widely credited with helping stabilise Dagenham after relegation, but with the side sitting outside the play-off places and six points off the pace, the decision has been made to relieve him of his duties.
And now Dagenham & Redbridge has named former Liverpool striker Andy Carroll as interim manager. The former Premier League striker first arrived at Dagenham in July 2025 on a three‑year deal, since then he’s become a central figure in the dressing room and around the training ground, and the board have now turned to that influence by asking him to take the reins on an interim basis while they weigh up longer‑term options.
A club statement read confirmed the appointment: “Dagenham & Redbridge Football Club can confirm that we have parted company with First-Team Manager, Lee Bradbury.” “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.” Should Carroll makes a fast start in the dugout and keeps his influence strong in the dressing room, the decision to move on from Bradbury will quickly be framed as the first big gamble that paid off in this new regime Want to get the latest Liverpool news direct to your phone?
