Warren Hackett (born 16 December 1971 in Plaistow, London) is a former professional footballer who played as an international for Saint Lucia. Hackett was a defender, primarily a left-back, who began his career with Tottenham Hotspur and was part of the 1990 winning FA Youth Cup side, but was released without breaking into the first-team, having spells with Leyton Orient, Doncaster, Mansfield and Barnet.
After retirement from the football league due to injury, Hackett played for two seasons in non-League football before going into coaching where he was assistant manager at Waltham Forest, Fisher Athletic and Erith & Belvedere.
He then moved to Toronto, Canada to further his coaching career and worked for Glen Shields Soccer Club as an Academy Director. He returned to England and was the Academy manager / Centre Of Excellence Manager at Dagenham & Redbridge. Hackett was promoted to first-team assistant manager in February 2013 when his former Leyton Orient team-mate Wayne Burnett took over as manager of Dagenham.
In December 2015, following the sacking of manager Burnett, Hackett with Darren Currie became caretaker managers of Dagenham & Redbridge losing their first game in charge, on 26 December, 3-0 at home to Cambridge United.
