List of Sheffield United F.C. Managers - Assistant Managers

Assistant Managers

Archie Clark was the first person to be officially appointed assistant manager of Sheffield United in 1958. Since then United have appointed a further 20 people to the position, with Frank Barlow being the current post holder. Of the club's assistant managers, four of them (Martin Peters, Adrian Heath, Nigel Spackman and Kevin Blackwell) were subsequently appointed to the position of manager on a full–time basis, while a further three (Archie Clark, Cec Coldwell twice and Russell Slade twice) took the role on a caretaker basis. Steve Thompson made the reverse transition, having a spell as acting manager in 1997 before being appointed as joint assistant manager to Steve Bruce a year later.

Famous quotes containing the word managers:

    “We also have to make sure our children know the history of women. Tell them the rotten truth: It wasn’t always possible for women to become doctors or managers or insurance people. Let them be armed with a true picture of the way we want it to be.”
    —Anne Roiphe (20th century)
