Jermain Defoe leaves his role as Woking’s manager two weeks before the club’s season starts, according to reports. Both outlets say Defoe departs after what he describes as an “eye-opening” experience during his time with the National League club. The reports add that his tenure lasts about four months, indicating he has not been in the position for the full run-up to the new campaign.
The articles do not provide detailed reasons beyond Defoe’s reference to the experience, and they do not specify a timeline for the next appointment or whether an interim manager will be named. With the start of the season approaching, Woking is expected to move quickly to confirm who will lead the team for opening fixtures. The information cited across sources is limited to the timing of the departure, the length of Defoe’s spell, and his characterisation of the period as “eye-opening,” without additional specifics about internal discussions or sporting circumstances.
