Glenn Victor Roeder (born December 13, 1955 in Woodford , England ) is a former football player and coach . Most recently, he coached the second division Norwich City until early 2009 .

Player career

During his playing career, Roeder was mostly in the position of the central central defender , first starting at Leyton Orient and later moving to the Queens Park Rangers , where he led the team as team captain. In 1984 he went to Newcastle United , where in over five years came almost 200 appearances. At the end of his career he played for Watford FC before he joined Gillingham FC in the role of player- coach and was on the field in six games.

Coaching career

First coaching stations: Gillingham and Watford

Roeder spent only one season as a player-coach at Gillingham FC and led the club after 13 wins in 51 games to the penultimate place in the fourth-rate third division . After the dismissal of Steve Perryman he succeeded him at Watford before the start of the season 1993 / 94 in the second division. In his second season as head coach, he missed participation in the play-off games for promotion to the Premier League by just one place in the table. When Watford had to fear relegation in the lower half of the table in February 1996 , Roeder was dismissed, although his successor Graham Taylor could no longer avoid relegation.

West Ham, Descent and Illness

During the following five years he worked both in the coaching staff of West Ham United and for the English national team , before he then temporarily took over the coaching position at West Ham. Since the club failed to sign Alan Curbishley or Steve McClaren after Harry Redknapp's resignation , Roeder was appointed in the summer of 2001 as the permanent solution for the sporting management of the Premier League club.

While West Ham was fighting to stay in the English top division, Roeder collapsed in his office on April 21, 2003 and was subsequently diagnosed with a brain tumor . For this reason, he was released from his position for the rest of the season, but then returned to the team that had just been relegated for the new season. After a poor start in the second-rate First Division , Roeder was released on August 24, 2003.

Newcastle United

Two years outside of the soccer business followed. Roeder then returned in June 2005 as head of Newcastle United's youth department. When Graeme Souness was on leave in February 2006, Roeder took over the coaching role as an interim solution, while Alan Shearer assisted him. He managed to lead the "Magpies" out of the lower table region and the club finished the season in seventh place, which was enough to qualify for the UI Cup .

The club's president - Freddy Shepherd - named Roeder his first choice as the regular coach of Newcastle, with continued employment subject to the condition that Roeder may work in the Premier League without the “UEFA Pro License”, which is normally the case is mandatory for all Premier League coaches. The exemption was granted, which was justified by the fact that Roeder was prevented from obtaining the license - which he had already tackled - only because of his illness. In the first instance, Newcastle's request had been rejected because they felt they were bound by the Europe-wide uniform UEFA regulations. After intensive consultations by Shepherd with his presidential colleagues, this strict line was abandoned and Roeder was allowed to obtain the required license during his ongoing activities.

On May 16, 2006, Roeder was officially introduced as the new coach during a press conference. He signed a two-year contract and introduced Kevin Bond as his co-trainer, with whom Roeder had already worked at West Ham, where Bond was still active as a scout . On May 6, 2007 he resigned after Newcastle could win only one of ten games, and was replaced by Sam Allardyce . On October 30, 2007, he took over the team manager position at the second division Norwich City , which was three points behind the table bottom of the Football League Championship at that time . This activity ended on January 14, 2009.
