Timeline
Neil Critchley (born 18 October 1978) is an English former footballer who played in the Football League First Division for Crewe Alexandra.
He is currently the head coach of club Blackpool.
Critchley, aged 10, joined Crewe in 1989.
The club was then managed by Dario Gradi who had recently started a player development scheme that became the Crewe Alexandra F.C. Academy.
Gradi noticed Critchley's ability, even at the age of 17, to coach younger players and encouraged him to become more fully involved.
Critchley's only playing appearance for Crewe came in a 3–0 defeat away at Fulham during the 1999–2000 season.
He signed for Leigh RMI in 2000, and made three league appearances as substitute for the club.
Critchley retired as a player aged 24 and became a coach at Crewe, working under Gradi and Steve Holland, and being appointed joint Academy director in 2007, before joining Liverpool as under-18s coach in 2013.
He has previously managed Liverpool under-18s (standing in for Jürgen Klopp for two of Liverpool's cup fixtures in the 2019–2020 season), and guided Blackpool to promotion, via the playoffs, from League One to the Championship in 2020–21, his first full season in charge of the club.
After a short stint as assistant head coach to Steven Gerrard at Aston Villa in 2022, he was appointed head coach of Queens Park Rangers.
After signing a three-year contract, he was sacked after two months, having won one game from his first twelve.
He returned to Blackpool in May 2023.
, he was one of sixteen coaches worldwide to have obtained UEFA's elite badge.
Due to fixture congestion of Liverpool's first team during the 2019–20 season, Critchley served as their stand-in manager for their EFL Cup away match against Aston Villa on 17 December 2019.
The congestion was caused by Liverpool's participation in the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar, which overlapped with the EFL Cup quarter-finals.
Liverpool, fielding a team made up exclusively of under-23s, were beaten 5–0.
After a curtailed regular season due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, Blackpool finished in 13th position after standings were amended to reflect a points-per-game ratio.
Critchley again served as Liverpool's stand-in manager for the FA Cup fourth round replay against Shrewsbury Town on 4 February 2020, as the first team were on a mid-season break.
The youthful Liverpool team won 1–0 via an own goal.
On 2 March 2020, Critchley was appointed as head coach of Blackpool on a three-and-a-half-year contract.
In Critchley's first full season in charge, 2020–21, Blackpool finished third at the conclusion of the regular season, going on to win promotion via the EFL League One play-offs.
On 19 November 2021, Critchley signed a four-year extension to his contract, keeping him at Bloomfield Road until 2026.
The following week, Critchley was named Manager of the Season at the annual North West Football Awards, beating Manchester City's Pep Guardiola, Blackpool's former captain and now Bolton Wanderers manager Ian Evatt, and Morecambe manager Derek Adams.
On 2 June 2022, Critchley departed Blackpool after accepting the role of assistant head coach to Steven Gerrard at Aston Villa.
He had told Blackpool's owner Simon Sadler that he was keen to work again with Gerrard and "pit himself against some of the best coaches in the world".
On 21 October 2022, Critchley departed Aston Villa, following the sacking of Gerrard the day prior.
On 11 December 2022, Critchley was appointed head coach of Championship club Queens Park Rangers on a three-and-a-half year deal.
His first match in charge was a single-goal victory over Preston North End.
On 19 February 2023, Critchley was relieved of his duties as head coach of Queen's Park Rangers, with the victory over Preston North End being the team's sole victory during his time in charge.
On 23 May 2023, Critchley returned to his former club Blackpool, on a four-year deal, following their relegation to League One.
