FORMER Southend United winger Steven Clark has revealed regrets from his playing career are spurring him on for success in management.

Clark has guided Sporting Bengal United to back to back promotions.

But the 42-year-old remains determined to secure more memorable moments from the dug-outs as he aims to make up for the disappointment he felt as a player.

“I had opportunities, like playing for Southend and I’ve got a lot of regrets about them,” said Clark.

“There are things I should have achieved and I didn’t.

“My managerial career so far has been about putting those things right.

“I never take the opportunity to manage for granted and will never ever become complacent about it either.

“The two promotions mean nothing now and I’m not entitled to anything but I enjoy it.

“It’s a real passion for me and if I took my playing career as seriously as I do my management career I would’ve done a lot better.”
