Teddy Sheringham parts company with Stevenage

Stevenage have announced that they have parted company with manager Teddy Sheringham due to the club's recent form.

The former England, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United striker took over at Broadhall Way last summer for what was his first job in management.

However, Stevenage are just eight points clear of the relegation zone in League Two following an eight-match winless streak that has seen them pick up just three points from the last 24 available.

"Teddy has had the worst luck I've seen in the 16 years I've owned the football club. Normally we'd have one or two major ops on key players in a season but we've had more this season than the last three combined," chairman Phil Wallace told the club's official website.

"You also occasionally lose points in the last few minutes of games but we've been in this situation in four of the last eight matches. However, we are where we are and the club have to make a change.

"Teddy came in having to work on a lower budget than we've had before and the lack of available funds has made it difficult to get the players he'd like. He's given it his all but it hasn't worked and now we have to thank him for his efforts and move on."

Darren Sarll will act as caretaker manager while Stevenage look for a replacement.
