DAGENHAM & Redbridge has announced Ben Strevens as their new manager.

The former Eastleigh boss replaces Daryl McMahon who was dismissed by the National League club last month.

Executive chairman Peter Freund told the club’s website: “After a thorough search conducted over the past two weeks, I am delighted that one of our own has come back to coach the club.

“When meeting with Ben, it was immediately clear he has the right mix of passion and skill-set to take the Daggers forward.”

Dagenham are currently 11th in the table, six points below the play-off places.

Strevens was instrumental in Southend United signing Cav Miley in the summer and will bring Daggers to Roots Hall on Saturday April 15.
