Paul Steven Jewell (born September 28, 1964 in Liverpool ) is an English football coach and former player .

Player career

Born in Liverpool, Jewell began his football career with his hometown club Liverpool FC . There, however, the young striker could not break into the domain of players like Ian Rush and Kenny Dalglish and henceforth sought his luck in the third division at Wigan Athletic. His greatest success there was reaching the quarter-finals in the FA Cup of the 1985/86 season. He then moved to Bradford City in July 1988 and should be active for this club for many years in both the second and third division, this period was only interrupted by short-term engagements for Grimsby Town in 1995 on loan.

Jewell ended at the end of the 1997/98 season in Bradford his active footballer career and was also in the last three months of this season after the dismissal of Chris Kamara coach of the team.

Coaching career

Bradford City

As a thank you for the guaranteed relegation Jewell was permanently installed as a coach at Bradford City and this measure paid off in Jewell's first full season as head coach, when the club rose to the Premier League as a runner-up in the second division and thus for the first time in almost 80 years in the top English league.

There Bradford under Jewell's direction had to fight hard to stay in the league in the 1999/2000 season and ensured this with a happy 1-0 home win against Liverpool FC on the last day of the game, with Bradford still overtaking Wimbledon and Liverpool FC failed to qualify for the Champions League . Just a few days later, Jewell resigned from his position and signed shortly afterwards with the club Sheffield Wednesday, which had just been relegated to the second division .

Sheffield Wednesday

There he hoped to be able to get back on track with Wednesday. However, his eight-month period was marked by crises and the club stayed near the bottom of the table. Until his release in February 2001, he had great difficulties in the debt-ridden club in looking after players who, for example, earned £ 5,000 for each game, regardless of whether they were used and this lack of performance incentives on the field demonstrated with weak ideas.

Wigan Athletic

In June 2001 Jewell returned as a coach and hired the ambitious third division club Wigan Athletic. In his second season he succeeded in the championship in the second division and the associated promotion to the second division - for the first time in the club's history. There the club was able to play for the top places straight away and was only ousted by a play-off spot on the last day of the game by the club Crystal Palace , which in turn was able to win the qualifying games itself.

In the following season, the promotion was made perfect - again on the last match day - and the club from Lancashire played under Jewell's direction for the first time in the Premier League. After losing in the first home game against Chelsea with a 0-1 goal by Hernán Crespo in the last minute, Jewell celebrated his first win in the subsequent home game against Sunderland and reached the final of the English League Cup , the Wigan , in the further course of the season but lost 4-0 to Manchester United . At the end of the season, Jewell's name was also traded among the possible successors of Sven-Göran Eriksson as the English national coach, but this turned out to be insubstantial at an early stage.

In the 2006/07 season Jewell secured with Wigan after a win in the last championship game on May 13, 2007 against Sheffield United relegation. Just a day later, however, he announced his resignation as coach of Wigan Athletic, citing the increasing tension he said he had suffered in the recent past. This originated on February 11, 2007, when he verbally attacked referee Phil Dowd following a defeat by Arsenal FC - a refused penalty and Arsenal FC's winning goal, suspected offside, were the subjects of dispute. Jewell had appealed against the punishment by the Football Association (FA) and accused it of “measuring with two standards”, since, according to Jewell, referee Dowd had insulted his players during the game.

Derby County

Jewell was linked with Leicester City in two cases after his resignation , was considered one of the successor candidates of Chris Hutchings at his old club Wigan Athletic and was also under discussion as the new Irish national coach. The speculation of Jewell's future finally came to an end on November 28, 2007, when he became the new Derby County coach just two days after Billy Davies resigned . He was able to celebrate his first victory in the FA Cup against Sheffield Wednesday after a penalty shoot-out, but this was followed four days later by the end against the second division relegation candidate Preston North End . With his 16th game against the ex-club Wigan Athletic, he wrote history for the new club on February 23, 2008, when Derby County broke its own negative record with 21 league games without a win. With a 2-2 draw against Fulham FC Jewell rose early with Derby County and with only eleven points, the club equalized the 108-year-old negative mark in English professional football with just one win.

Jewell's first championship victory came after ten months in a 3-1 win against Sheffield United on September 13, 2008. Earning successes, however, achieved in the League Cup when the club reached the semifinals for the first time in 40 years after beating first division side Stoke City . But since the sporting decline continued in the second-rate Football League Championship, Jewell resigned from his position after the last game in 2008 against Ipswich Town (0: 1) and the associated 18th place in the table. For the third time, his kotrainer Chris Hutchings inherited him as an interim trainer.

Ipswich Town

In early January 2011 Paul Jewell replaced his predecessor Roy Keane as coach of the English second division club Ipswich Town and finished the 2011/12 season in fifteenth place.

On October 24, 2012, he resigned as coach of the club, lying on the last place in the table of the Football League Championship 2012/13 .
