Jamie Day (footballer, born 1979)

In November 2009, he returned to Welling United having been appointed as player-manager of the Conference South club at the age of 30.[11][12] His start as manager at Park View Road was delayed however with Dartford claiming he was still registered to them as a player.[13]

Despite being docked five points at the start of the 2010-11 season for financial misconduct, Day led Welling to sixth place in the Conference South, missing out on the play-off places by one point.[14] In April 2011, he ruled out any rumours that he was set to return to his former club, Dartford, as their manager.[15]

A third-place finish at the end of the 2011-12 season saw Day lead Welling to the Conference South play-off places. His side defeated Sutton United in the play-off semi-finals, subsequently earning a play-off final tie with Dartford, however Welling missed out on promotion, suffering a 1–0 defeat.[16]

The following 2012-13 campaign however saw Day guide Welling to promotion to the Conference National as Conference South champions.[17] After reaching the 60 point mark, he led Welling to a 16th-place finish in their first season back in the Conference National.[18]

Following a five-year spell in charge at Welling, he left to return to the Conference South, being appointed manager of Ebbsfleet United in December 2014.[19][20] In April 2015, however, he was relieved of his duties alongside his assistants Barry Ashby and Dean Frost.[21]

On 11 May 2015, he was announced as the new assistant manager at Forest Green Rovers in a role that saw him link up with his former manager at Welling United, Adrian Pennock.[22]

On 21 May 2016, Day was named manager of Braintree Town.[23] He was sacked in September of the same year after only four months in charge.[24] The following month he returned to Welling United, as first-team coach.[25] In November 2016 he stepped up to replace Mark Goldberg as the manager.[26] As first-team coach in second spell at Welling United he lost the first three matches against Ebbsfleet United, Hungerford Town and Hampton & Richmond. When Goldberg stepped aside he won all six of his matches in charge, in what marked his second spell as Welling manager. Day was undefeated in December 2016 and named as National League South Manager of the Month on 6 January 2017 - two days after leaving the club.

On 4 January 2017, Day left Welling to once again link-up with Adrian Pennock, this time at Gillingham.[27]

Day left Gillingham in September 2017.[28] In October 2017 he featured for Cray Valley Paper Mills as a player, scoring in a 2–1 win against Rochester United.[29] On 12 February 2018 he reunited with Pennock once more, joining Barrow as assistant manager.

On 17 May 2018, Bangladesh Football Federation announced that they have appointed Day as the head coach of Bangladesh national football team as well as the U-23.[30] Under his guidance, Bangladesh put up its best performance ever in the 2018 Asian Games, where the team shocked by a 1–0 win over powerhouse Qatar and a draw to Thailand to reach the round of sixteen for the first time ever, which began a football renaissance in the cricket-dominated country.[31][32] Although the team did not perform well in the 2018 SAFF Championship, Jamie Day was still allowed to keep his duty, where he coached Bangladesh U-23 team to have an acceptable third-place finish in the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship qualification, even though the team could not qualify, Bangladesh played good and only fell by minimal goal to Palestine and Bahrain.

Also, under the tutor of Day, Bangladesh made up another good resurgence during the 2022 World Cup qualification, Bangladesh overcame Laos.[33] In the next round, the Bangladeshi team was not able to deal with much stronger opponents with the exception of some fellow South Asian neighbors India and Afghanistan, yet Bangladesh proved to be stubborn with the team did not suffer heavy losses to Oman and Qatar.
