Russell Wilcox (born 25 March 1964) is an Englishfootball coach and former player who is manager ofGainsborough Trinity.

Wilcox played as adefender between 1980 and 2003 and spent the final six years of his career withScunthorpe United which is where he began working underBrian Laws. Wilcox would act as Laws' assistant atGlanford Park from 2003 to 2006 before following him on to further jobs atSheffield Wednesday andBurnley. The pair returned to Scunthorpe in 2012 and in November 2013 Wilcox succeeded Laws as manager of the club, taking Scunthorpe to promotion. A poor start to the following year's campaign saw Wilcox sacked from Scunthorpe and he was then recruited byYork City. Another poor start to a season saw Wilcox sacked by York City in October 2015. Wilcox came back to Scunthorpe again as the caretaker manager until the end of the2019–20 season following the dismissal ofPaul Hurst.

Club career

[edit]

Wilcox was born inHemsworth,West Riding of Yorkshire.[1] He started his career withDoncaster Rovers as an apprentice, and made hisfirst team debut aged 17 when starting the last match of their1980–81 Fourth Divisionpromotion winning season, a 1–1 away draw withMansfield Town on 6 May 1981.[2][3] His progress thefollowing season was disrupted through injury, and he left for a brief spell withCambridge United of theSecond Division.[2] Wilcox dropped intonon-League football to play forAlliance Premier League clubFrickley Athletic during1982–83.[4]

He returned to the professional game when he joined Fourth Division clubNorthampton Town for a £15,000 fee on 30 June 1986.[1] He later played forHull City,Preston North End andScunthorpe United.[5] He played the majority of his career at Scunthorpe, where he was signed byBrian Laws in 1997.[5] He eventually became player-assistant manager to Laws in 1999 after the win atWembley Stadium in theplay-off final againstLeyton Orient.[5]

International career

[edit]

Wilcox earned twocaps and scored one goal for theEngland national semi-pro team, in matches against the Republic of Ireland andWales in 1986.[6]

Coaching and managerial career

[edit]

When Brian Laws was sacked in 2004, Wilcox took temporary control of theGlanford Park club for four games, until Laws was reinstated.[5] When Laws returned to the club, Wilcox reverted to his original role of assistant manager.[5] In 2006, Laws left Scunthorpe when he was appointed manager ofSheffield Wednesday, Wilcox shortly followed him to take up the assistant manager's role atHillsborough Stadium.[7]

On 13 January 2010, he joinedPremier League clubBurnley as assistant manager, yet again moving to work under Brian Laws.[8] He left Burnley in December 2010.[9]

On 30 November 2011 at a fans forum, Wilcox was named as the new assistant manager of League One clubAFC Bournemouth, working alongside managerLee Bradbury.[10] On 30 October 2012 he and Laws returned to manage League One side Scunthorpe United replacing former managerAlan Knill who was sacked following a string of poor results and poor performances.[11][12] This will be the third time he and Brian Laws have worked together at Scunthorpe.[citation needed] Laws was dismissed on 20 November 2013 with Wilcox taking over on a caretaker basis.[13] On 24 December 2013 Wilcox was confirmed as permanent manager of the club on a 12-month rolling contract.[14]

On 12 April 2014, Wilcox broke the record for the longest unbeaten run at the beginning of a managerial reign, with a draw againstBury being his 26th game in charge without defeat.[15] In total, Wilcox managed 28 consecutive games without defeat, with his first loss coming in the penultimate game of the season on 26 April 2014 away toExeter City. Results elsewhere meant that Scunthorpe secured promotion on that day regardless.[16] Scunthorpe won just two of their first eleven matches back in League One, which resulted in Wilcox being sacked on 8 October 2014.[17]

A week after leaving Scunthorpe Wilcox was appointed as the new manager of League Two clubYork City on 15 October 2014, following the resignation ofNigel Worthington.[18] He was sacked on 26 October 2015, with York fourth-bottom of the table after a run of nine league matches without a win.[19]

After the departure ofPaul Hurst in January 2020, Wilcox was appointed caretaker manager, and remained until the end of the season.[20] He was appointed manager ofFarsley Celtic in February 2022.[21]

On 17 May 2023 Farsley Celtic reported that Wilcox had left his position as Manager with immediate effect.[22]

On 19 September 2023, Wilcox was appointed manager ofNorthern Premier League Premier Division clubGainsborough Trinity.[23]
