Adrian Neil Boothroyd (born 8 February 1971) is an English former footballer, who is manager of the England U21 team.At club level, he was manager of Watford from 2005 to 2008.
During his time with Watford, he was known as one of the best young managers in England.
At the time of his departure, he was the youngest and the second longest serving manager in the division. Boothroyd then had short spells at Colchester United and Coventry City.
In 2011, he replaced Gary Johnson at Northampton Town.
After saving the club from relegation in the 2011–12 season, he took Northampton to the League Two Playoff final in May 2013, only to be defeated in the final.
After a poor start to the 2013–14 season, he was relieved of his duties on 21 December 2013, with the club bottom of the Football League.
Playing career
Boothroyd was born in Eccleshill, West Riding of Yorkshire. He began as a youth team member at Huddersfield Town in 1989 and made his first team debut for the club in 1989. He appeared in ten league games before moving to Bristol Rovers in 1990, where he appeared in 16 games. After a short spell in Scotland with Heart of Midlothian, in which he scored two goals against Huntly in a 6–0 win in the Scottish Cup in 1993, he moved to Mansfield Town, where he scored 3 goals in the process. In 1996, he left the club to play for Peterborough United. Since playing 26 games and scoring a single goal, Boothroyd sustained a career-ending injury. In 1998, he retired from football.
Coaching career
Boothroyd, who spent his playing days at Peterborough United, was named coach of the Under 17, Under 19 and Reserve teams at the club. He admired Peterborough's tactical acumacy and drive, and he left Peterborough in 2001 to join Norwich City as their youth team coach under Nigel Worthington. Boothroyd, a two-year engineer with Carrow Road, took over West Bromwich Albion's Youth Development Officer and Technical Director, joining in October 2003. When he was named first-team coach at Leeds United in July 2004, he had a short spell at The Hawthorns.
In March 2005, Boothroyd was appointed as the Watford chief at the age of 34. Despite initial skepticism by Watford fans and the club's new era under Boothroyd, the board supported their decision. With 1–0 victories over Stoke City and Rotherham United, he maintained his grip on relegation.
Boothroyd said that his goal for the forthcoming season would be promotion to the Premier League, but that many pundits expected the club to be relegated. As the season progressed, the team gained more confidence and ended in third place, securing a spot in the play-offs. Watford defeated Leeds United 3–0 in the final after winning promotion to the Premier League after defeating Crystal Palace in the two-legged semi-finals. Boothroyd was named the Month's Manager of the Month in February 2006 thanks to Watford's rapid growth in his first season as boss. Boothroyd stayed as Watford's boss from 2006-07, but Watford was relegated to 20th place in 20th. Nonetheless, they reached the FA Cup semi-finals, and Boothroyd was given a new three-year deal. He completed his UEFA Pro Licence in coaching in July 2006.
After nineteen games, Watford had a good start to the 2007-08 season, with twelve points clear at the top of the Championship table. After Watford held a 98 percent record, Boothroyd was named Championship Manager of the Month for October 2007. However, Boothroyd's form suffered in the second half of the season, and he was chastised for his team picks, direct style of play, and dealings in the transfer market. Watford was in danger of losing out on a play-off spot entirely going into the season's last game, but a 1–1 draw against Blackpool was enough to guarantee sixth place on goal difference ahead of Wolverhampton Wanderers. At the KC Stadium, the team defeated Hull City Watford by 2–0.
Boothroyd, who was forced to return to Premier League immediately, has confirmed his intention to re-build the team for the forthcoming season and also change the team's style of play. After a home loss to Blackpool, however, he left Watford by mutual consent on November 3, 2008.
Boothroyd was named as the new manager of Colchester United's League One side, succeeding Paul Lambert on September 2nd. In his first game as Colchester's manager, he lost 0–0 with Southampton, and the team won five of the first nine games under his tenure. Millwall lost by 2–1 on his 10th game in his 10th game.
John-Joe O'Toole's loan was his first signing as Colchester boss, and Kayode Odejayi was his first permanent appointment. O'Toole was eventually signed on a permanent basis, and he also signed Stanley Prutton from Leeds United, Ian Henderson of Ankaragücü, and Morten Knudsen from Norway's Morten Knudsen. Franck Queudrue, who arrived on loan from Birmingham City, was a new borrower for Boothroyd.
Colchester, under Boothroyd, was in the top 10 for the first half of the season. However, they had a bad run of form going into the season's last 14 games, with them losing only two games of their last 14 games and finishing in 8th place in League One. Boothroyd expressed his desire to demise some "dead wood" to start a new promotion push at this time. Boothroyd departed the club on May 20th to take over Coventry City's Championship team.
Boothroyd was named as the new boss of Championship side Coventry City on May 20, 2010, replacing Chris Coleman. His first game in charge was on August 7th, when Boothroyd led Coventry City to a victory over Portsmouth on the first day, with both goals coming from Freddy Eastwood.
After a string of poor results, Coventry City fired Boothroyd on March 14, 2011, the club won only once in 16 league games.
On a one-year, rolling contract, Boothroyd was appointed as the head of Northampton Town. Northampton had dropped to the bottom of the League Two table, six points from safety, before Boothroyd led them to a 20th-place finish in the 2011-12 season. Northampton finished 6th in the 2012–13 season, making the playoffs with 73 points. In the two-legged semi-finals at Wembley Stadium, they defeated Cheltenham Town 2-0 (on aggregate) before losing 3–0 to Bradford City on May 18th. After losing by Wycombe Wanderers in 4–1, Boothroyd was fired by Northampton on December 21, 2013. The club was currently in last place in League Two.
Boothroyd was appointed manager of the England national under-20 football team on February 28, 2014, but the following year saw him reshuffle, with him coaching the Under-19 team instead. In August 2016, he was recalled under-20s manager, with Keith Downing in charge of the under-19s.
After Gareth Southgate was appointed interim manager of England's national under-21 football team, Boothroyd was named caretaker boss of the England national under-21 football team. He will lead the team against Kazakhstan, Bosnia, and Herzegovina in the last UEFA Euro Championship qualifiers. His first match as the under-21s culminated in a 1–0 victory over Kazakhstan and a 5–0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
England won the 2018 Toulon Tournament by beating Mexico 2–1 in the final on June 9, 2018.
Boothroyd revealed on April 16th that he would leave The FA to concentrate on returning to club football from The FA.
Due to Adam Sadler's absence, Boothroyd will join Northern Ireland's coaching staff on a short-term basis.
Boothroyd was appointed head coach of Jamshedpur on July 10th, 2022. "Jamshedpur FC are the Champions of India right now," he said, and the city has a rich football tradition. We want to keep this upswing momentum and help the club achieve places and win coveted awards that our followers are raving about. We want to bring the team to the next level and to compete effectively with Asia's top teams."
