Next Chesterfield Manager : The Early Favourites?

Danny Wilson

Age: 55

Teams managed: Barnsley, Sheff Weds, Bristol City, MK Dons. Hartlepool United, Swindon Town, Sheffield Utd, Barnsley

Win %: 40.02






Danny Wilson has massive experience as a manager at this level. Lives in Chesterfield and is a Spireite favourite having stared for Chesterfield in the 80's. Unlucky to lose his job at Barnsley to Lee Johnson, a move which has seen the Tykes form worsen.


Ritchie Humphreys

Age: 37

Teams managed: None

Win %: N/A





UEFA A qualified coach and chairman of the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) since 2013. Knows the players inside out and has a very good relationship with CEO Chris Turner.

Keith Hill

Age: 45

Teams managed: Rochdale and Barnsley

Win %: 43:71






Similar mould to Paul Cook has taken Rochdale from League Two to the top of League One, could be looking for another challenge having maybe reached Rochdale's potential. Could be too expensive for the Spireites but will be a favourite with the fans.

Nigel Clough

Age: 49

Teams managed: Burton, Derby, Sheffield United

Win %: 41.78



Had good success at Burton and Derby on a very limited finances. Top managerial pedigree, Clough won the Conference Premier Manager of the Month for December 2008, after completing 11 straight wins in the division and guiding Burton to 13 points clear at the top of the table.


Leam Richardson

Age: 35

Teams managed: Accrington Stanley

Win %: 29.78








Not the greatest success in his short management career with a small team but wonderful success as an assistant to Paul Cook. Having missed out on him when Paul Cook left, it looks unlikely a move for Leam would happen now.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank

Age: 43

Teams managed: Royal Antwerp, Burton

Win %: 51.14 (60.38 at Burton Albion)




Player at the highest level and developing as a good young coach. Very much loved at Burton. May have been a better appointment in the summer with Burton now promotion candidates.

Graham Alexander

Age: 44

Teams managed: Preston, Fleetwood

Win %: 38.62







He guided Fleetwood to promotion in 2013–14 by winning the League Two play-offs. He thenguided the Cod Army to a 10th-placed finish just six points off the play-off places.
