National League side Woking have appointed former Tottenham and England striker Jermain Defoe as their new head coach.
It is the 43-year-old's first permanent role of his managerial career, having previously been part of an interim coaching staff in charge of Scottish giants Rangers in 2021 and worked in the Spurs academy.
Woking sacked former Wimbledon midfielder Neal Ardley earlier this month, with interim head coach Craig Ross overseeing four wins, three draws and a defeat in eight games in charge.
Ross will also be in charge for Tuesday's game against Altrincham (19:45 BST), before Defoe takes over.
