Thespa Gunma Overview

Former England striker Jermain Defoe has left his post as Woking manager after just four months and six league games in charge. The 43-year-old departed the National League club by mutual consent following a brief stint, describing his first managerial role as an eye-opening experience that ultimately became impossible to continue.

Jermain Defoe experienced a rollercoaster introduction to life in the dugout as his Woking side fought back from two goals down to secure a 3-3 draw against Eastleigh. The former England international saw his managerial debut nearly ruined by a defensive collapse before a spirited late rally saved a point at the Laithwaite Community Stadium.
