West Ham Ladies hire ex-defender as manager

West Ham legend Julian Dicks has been appointed manager of West Ham Ladies.

Dicks, who made 326 appearances for the Hammers, takes over from Mark Saunderson who led the side to 10th place in the FA Women’s Premier League Southern Division.

Dicks, 45, managed Eastern Counties League side Wivenhoe Town in 2009 and Grays Athletic in 2011. 

“It’s absolutely fantastic to be back at West Ham,” said Dicks. 

“I love the club and for me it’s an absolute honour for me to be associated with them once again.”

“I’ve managed before at Grays and at Wivenhoe and I’ve played at the highest level and this is my opportunity to give something back. 

“I’m an ambitious person. I was ambitious when I played. I am ambitious as a manager and I want to take West Ham Ladies as far as I can.”
