Woking, Jermain Defoe and Jody Brown
Saturday
Woking director of football Jody Brown said there were growing concerns across the club before Jermain Defoe’s sudden managerial exit. Defoe left by mutual agreement after just four months in his first senior management role.
Brown said Defoe and assistant Paul Bracewell failed to provide requested planning reports, then missed a scheduled meeting and training session. The comments add context to a surprise exit two weeks before Woking’s season opener.
