Darren Sarll (born 2 February 1983) is an English football manager and coach, currently manager of Stevenage. He began his career in football as a midfielder in non-league football.

Playing career

Sarll was a product of the youth system at Isthmian League Premier Division club Hitchin Town, graduating to the senior team in 2001 and departing the following year.[2][3] He subsequently played in the Conference South, the Southern League and the Spartan South Midlands League for Berkhamsted Town, Bedford Town,[4][5] St Albans City,[2] Dunstable Town,[6] Hemel Hempstead Town,[7] Chesham United and Biggleswade United.[8][9] After taking up coaching and dropping out of non-league football, he moved into Sunday league.[10]

Managerial and coaching career

Stevenage Borough

Sarll began his coaching career with Conference side Stevenage Borough, serving as a coach in a variety of youth and reserve roles.[11] During the 2006–07 season, he managed the youth team to the final of the Colwyn Cup, which was lost to Dunstable Town.[12]

Brentford

Sarll joined League Two club Brentford as youth team manager prior to the beginning of the 2008–09 season.[13] After the promotion of first team assistant manager Andy Scott to the full-time managerial post halfway through the season, Sarll also assisted Scott as first team coach and also became the first manager of the reformed reserve team in 2009.[14] He left the club at the end of the 2010–11 season.[13]

Rotherham United

Sarll followed Andy Scott to League Two club Rotherham United in August 2011, taking over the role of Head of Player Development.[15] After Scott's sacking in March 2012,[16] Sarll departed the Don Valley Stadium at the end of the 2011–12 season.[17]

Return to Stevenage

Sarll returned to Stevenage, then having risen through the pyramid to League One, in June 2012.[18] He held the role of Head of Youth until 2 June 2015, when he was promoted to first team coach after the appointment of Teddy Sheringham as manager.[19] After the sacking of Sheringham on 1 February 2016, Sarll was named as caretaker manager.[20] Five days later, Sarll's first match in charge resulted in a 1–0 League Two defeat to Crawley Town.[21] After losing six of his first 9 games, Boro sought the services of Glenn Roeder to advise Sarll.[22] After guiding Boro to an 18th-place finish,[23] Sarll was given the manager's job on a permanent basis.[24]
