Dagenham and Redbridge have continued their remarkable transformation off the pitch.

The Malaysian businessman joins internet sensation KSI at Victoria Road, creating a star-studded boardroom with incredibly ambitious dreams of reaching the Premier League.

Former England striker Andy Carroll has revealed the extent of his daily communications with YouTube star KSI as the two co-owners plot a miraculous rise for Dagenham & Redbridge.

Andy Carroll has started his Dagenham and Redbridge managerial career with a 1-0 victory over Torquay United on Saturday. Minority owner and YouTuber KSI was in the stands as the Daggers took three vital points, and Carroll, the former England striker, celebrated post-match with his family.

The "KSI era" at Dagenham & Redbridge has begun with a major clinical overhaul, as the National League South club confirmed the departure of manager Lee Bradbury. The decision comes just a fortnight after the high-profile YouTuber-turned-media personality was unveiled as a minority shareholder. In a sensational twist, former Liverpool and England striker Andy Carroll has been handed the reins on an interim basis.
