The club, which have had investment from YouTube KSI recently, has elected to name former Newcastle United, Liverpool, and West Ham United striker Carroll as manager on an interim basis. The 37-year-old has scored six times in 12 games for Dagenham & Redbridge this season but is yet to play in 2026.

Carroll is set to be in the dugout for the Daggers next game at home to Torquay United, now managed by Neil Warnock.

The striker played against Warnock's Cardiff City back in 2018 for West Ham in what was a 3-1 win for the Hammers and first faced a Warnock team as a player back in November 2007 while on loan at Preston North End.
