Colin Bell (born August 5, 1961 in Leicester ) is a former English football player and current coach . As a player, he worked for German clubs from 1982 to 1989.

Stations as a player

Bell began his career as a right back at home club Leicester City , for which he was active until 1982, but remained without a commitment in the professional team. Bell's first station in Germany was VfL Hamm / Sieg between 1982 and 1984 , with whom he was relegated from the Oberliga Südwest in the 1982/83 season. After the missed recovery in the 1983/84 season, he changed clubs and played one season each for the third division TuS Schloß Neuhaus and FV Bad Honnef . During his time at Neuhaus Castle, he played four games without authorization. These four games won were later converted into 0-2 defeats. In 1986 he returned to VfL Hamm / Sieg, with whom he was only three points behind champions Eintracht Trier in the Oberliga Südwest. Bell's good performances did not go unnoticed by the competition and so he switched to the Rheinhessen competitor 1. FSV Mainz 05 in 1987 , with whom he was promoted to the second division in 1988 , but was relegated again a year later.

Stations as a trainer

He began his coaching career in 1989 at TuS Koblenz , where he worked until 1997. Bell then moved to 1. FC Köln as a youth and assistant coach and later as a coach at Dynamo Dresden . In 2000 he did a short assignment as assistant coach of SV Waldhof Mannheim and VfL Hamm / Sieg (2000/01) and in 2005 came through the amateurs of 1. FSV Mainz 05, with whom he was promoted to the regional league four times won the Southwest Cup, Münster in Prussia . As the successor to Hans-Werner Moors , Bell was dismissed on November 21, 2005 after falling to a relegation place at SC Prussia. Curiously, Moors - with his fourth engagement with the Prussians - also succeeded Bell.

Bell then worked as the head of the youth performance center at TuS Koblenz. He led the TuS U-19s in the 2006/07 season to the championship of the A-Juniors Regional League Southwest. From December 2008 until the end of the 2008/09 season he was Uwe Rapolder's second assistant coach in the second division team ; At the same time, he was responsible for the TuS U-23 team, with whom he rose every year after the rebuilding from the District League D Koblenz to the District League Middle of the Rhineland Football Association and also there in the 2009/10 season for promotion to the Rhineland League (Association League Rhineland) played.

Bell then coached the women's Bundesliga club SC 07 Bad Neuenahr between 2011 and 2013 . He had his contract, which was originally dated until summer 2015, canceled in spring 2013.

On July 1, 2013, Bell became the new head coach of 1. FFC Frankfurt . With the FFC, he became the first foreign coach to win the UEFA Women's Champions League in 2015 . At the beginning of December 2015, the FFC and Bell agreed to terminate their employment at the end of the year. On the same day he signed a one-year contract with the Norwegian runner-up Avaldsnes IL starting January 1, 2016 with an option for a further year. In July 2016, Bell moved back to Germany prematurely for family reasons and coached the SC Sand women's soccer team . His contract ran until 2019 and contained a release clause if the takeover of a national team were in the room. He made use of this six months later and has been the coach of the Irish women's national team since February 13, 2017 . On June 29, 2019, Bell resigned after 2 years as national coach of the Irish women's national football team and then signed a contract as assistant coach at the Premier League relegated Huddersfield Town .
