Sheringham leaves West Ham
The 49 year old was appointed Hammer’s attacking coach on a part-time basis back in May 2014. Stevenage has close ties with West Ham because it’s Chief Executive, Barry Webber was commercial Director at West Ham until last year.
Asked about the influence of Allardyce’s situation, Sheringham said: ‘It has probably helped. ‘If Sam had been told four months ago that he was staying in the job he probably would have sorted his backroom staff to stay. The longer it has gone on, the uncertainty has left things very open. This chance has come about and it felt right.If Sam had asked me four months ago I probably would have stayed another year and seen where it had taken me.’
Sheringham will need a UEFA B license to manage the the league two side but he will have 12 weeks to enroll on a UEFA B license approved course to comply with football league regulations.
