Teddy Sheringham has been confirmed as the new manager of Sky Bet League Two club Stevenage.

Sheringham, 49, leaves his role as attacking coach at West Ham to make his first foray into management.

The former Tottenham and Manchester United forward, who earned 51 caps for England, replaces Graham Westley, whose contract expires on May 31.

Westley’s final game in charge was the play-off semi-final second-leg defeat to Southend, which they lost 4-2 on aggregate.
