Jimmy Bullard has landed his first managerial job in football as boss of Ryman League Premier Division club Leatherhead.
The 37-year-old's first game in charge of Surrey side Leatherhead will be away at Folkestone Invicta on Tuesday.
A graduate of the West Ham academy, Bullard counts Fulham, Peterborough, Wigan, Hull, Ipswich and MK Dons among his former clubs. The former midfielder also earned three England call-ups during his career.
Bullard retired from playing four years ago and has since worked as a broadcaster, also appearing in reality show I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here in 2014.
Leatherhead chairman Richard Brady said in a statement on the club's website: "Jimmy has gained a wealth of experience into a variety of management and coaching techniques as a player and [has] a very clear philosophy in terms of how he wishes his team to play."
