Managerial Career
After finishing his career as a player Rowe took a number of coaching jobs although this was halted due to the break out of World War II. He then joined Chelmsford City winning the Southern League Cup Trophy.
Tottenham were in the second division when Rowe returned to the club as manager in 1949 and his task was to gain promotion. This was achieved by becoming Champions and the following season the First Division Championship was won as well. These back to back championships made Spurs the first post-war team to win back to back titles. This was achieved through the use of 'Push and run' football.
Rowe's health started to fail and he never fully recovered from a breakdown in 1954. During his recouperation, Jimmy Anderson was made acting manager, to become the full-time manager when Rowe resigned in 1955.
After leaving Tottenham he took time off to recover and joined Crystal Palace in 1960 bringing them an instant promotion that season. He was then forced to resign through ill health in 1962–63 season, returning briefly as a stand in manager in 1966.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
