He led the team from League One to promotion in the 2013–14 season and ended the season with the club's highest second-tier finish in 80 years.

He coached Rangers in Scotland from 2015 to 2017, winning the Scottish Championship and the Scottish Challenge Cup in his first season.

In March 2017, he joined Nottingham Forest but was suspended after nine months.

Personal life

Warburton became a London trader and later served in the United States while Enfield. "I was a currency dealer for the likes of Bank of America, AIG, and RBS," he said in 2014 based on his time in the city. I was up for 20 years at 4:32 a.m., we leave the house at 4:52, get the 5:02 train into Liverpool Street at 5:45 p.m., get home at 7 p.m., and make phone calls throughout the night, orders from New York City. I was well compensated and did a good job. A lot of risk was involved, but not so much pressure. "My personal income will rise from £1.5 billion to $2 billion per day." Warburton cites similarities between trading and football administration, such as teamwork, coordination, competition, and man management.

Jack, his uncle, was a youth player at Watford and Leicester City before heading to Canada to play for USL Premier Development League team K-W United. He signed a six-month contract with Brentford's Development Squad in January 2015 and also served in Northern Ireland at U16 and U17 levels.

Playing career

Warburton attended The Latymer School, Edmonton, growing up in London. Warburton, a defender, started his playing career at Leicester City under Frank McLintock, and then moved to Non-League football with Enfield. Warburton took offense to McLintock's replacement, Jock Wallace, later claiming that he was a Marine. We had runs on sand-dunes, running until we threw up. "I learned a lot from that, but I never thought of a player in the same way." Warburton was a successful four years at Enfield, winning the 1981–82 FA Trophy and 1982–83 Alliance Premier League championships. Trevor Savage battled for the right back spot at the club, scoring his only league goal for the club against Boston United goalkeeper Kevin Blackwell in a 2–0 victory during the 1982–83 season. Warburton played for Isthmian League side Burnton Juniors, Scottish non-league side Stoneyburn Juniors, and also spent time in Charlotte and Chicago's men's leagues while living in the United States. He suffered from cruciate injuries early in his playing career.

Coaching career

Warburton began his teaching at St. Clement Danes School in Chorleywood while working as a trader. "We have the money in the bank, the house is paid for, and our lifestyle won't change," he told his wife later. I want to do this: I want to do this for ten years: i want to do this: I want to do this: ten years to do something in the game. It's now or never." He spent his own money traveling around Europe after leaving his trading career in the early 2000s, watching coaching sessions at Sporting CP, Ajax, Valencia, Barcelona, and Willem II. Warburton was given a permanent teaching job with Watford from U9 to U16, and was appointed the academy's chief in 2006. He became assistant academy manager for U17 to U19 age groups following a reshuffle in 2009. He formed links with Harefield Academy while at Watford. Warburton left Watford in February 2010 to "pursue other sporting passions." Warburton said he quit the Hornets in September 2014 because he "had a falling out with one or two people." I was abused as a child, but the club has now been dismanaged, so I have no grudges against the club."

Nicky Forster was named caretaker boss of Brentford's League One team in February 2011 and named Warburton as the first team coach. Warburton had previously worked with Brentford owner Matthew Benham on the NextGen series, and he revealed that he received a call from the owner at 1:30 a.m., asking if I would come in to help Nicky. I didn't know a lot about Brentford or knew any of the players, so I stayed up for the remainder of the night looking at player profiles." Following a fruitful interim period, Forster was given the opportunity to serve on a permanent basis until the 2010–11 season. Warburton played for Forster until the end of the season. Assistant manager Alan Kernaghan took over the team's 3–2 FA Cup second round loss away from Carlisle United on December 7, 2013. Warburton was brought on as part of the coaching staff, as did first team coach Peter Farrell.

Warburton was hired by West Ham United as a first-team coach on June 24, 2022, as part of manager David Moyes' backroom staff.

Managerial career

Warburton, the former boss of Wigan Athletic who turned down an opportunity to follow former boss Uwe Rösler to Wigan Athletic, was appointed as the new Brentford manager on December 10, 2013, with a contract running from 2013–14. "I don't think I should have been shot (for the manager's work) again," he said. I was invited to apply, but if I didn't, I would have stayed as Sporting Director. Warburton defeated Oldham Athletic 1–0 in his first official match in charge, thanks to Jonathan Douglas' 90th-minute goal against him on December 14th. Warburton cited a desire to have his "fingerprint on the squad and coaching staff" which culminated in Alan Kernaghan and Peter Farrell's departure from the club on December 16th and David Weir's appointment as assistant manager the same day. Brentford defeated Milton Keynes Dons 3-1 at Griffin Park on December 29, bringing them to the top of League One for the first time. Following a 3–1 away win over Peterborough United on January 1, 2014, the run continued to six straight victories. Defender Alan McCormack said that "a change in leadership often means a new man taking in their own employees and own ideas, but Warburton) has maintained it pretty much the same, with just making one or two changes." Warburton's winning start earned him the League One Manager of the Month award for December 2013. Warburton was nominated for the second month in a row by four wins and a draw in January 2014. Warburton's first defeat as Brentford's boss came as a result of 19 league games unbeaten.

Warburton drew on his trading experience to highlight the challenges of the job to coach David Weir, kit man Bob Oteng, and Marcello Trotta, who joined the team in Canary Wharf in mid-March, taking them on a tour of the dealing room at HSBC. A goal from Trotta was enough to propel the Bees to a victory that relegated them to the automatic promotion positions in League One, despite playing in front of the Sky Sports cameras the following day. Warburton received his third League One Manager of the Month award in four months thanks to five victories and two draws in March. Brentford were promoted to the Championship with a 1–0 win over Preston North End at Griffin Park on 18 April, with three games to spare. Warburton won 17, drew six, and lost four in 27 games in the 2013-2014 managerial hotspot. Warburton signed a one-year rolling contract on June 26th, promising his future to the Bees.

On August 9, 2014, Warburton's first game in management at a Championship level was against London neighbours Charlton Athletic. "We've got a lot of young players who will be able to find their feet," the narrator said, but "You'll have to adjust to your new environment right away" after the 1-1 draw. Warburton led the club to their first league victory of the season on August 19th, defeating Blackpool 2–1. For the first time this season, the Bees defeated Brighton & Hove Albion on September 13 and lifted them into Championship playoff positions. Warburton was appointed as the manager of the Football League Team of the Week for 3–9 November after victories over Nottingham Forest and Millwall. Brentford earned the Championship Manager of the Month award and the LMA Performance of the Week accolade for a 4–0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, a club record that has since the club's first appearance in the league pyramid since the 1952-53 season). Warburton had the Bees to their best home record in the Football League at the end of 2014, which was their best home record in the Football League. Warburton received his second Championship Manager of the Month nomination in three months in January 2015.

Warburton would be fired as boss at the end of the 2014–15 season, according to a column in The Times on February 10, 2015. Warburton, assistant David Weir, Sporting Director Frank McParland, announced that he'd be leaving Brentford at the end of the 2014–15 season, citing the three players' differences with club owner Matthew Benham's proposed reform of the club's leadership structure, which would include quantitative analysis and statistics related to traditional scouting methods. The Hounslow Chronicle was later called "Warburtongate" in honor of the Hounslow Chronicle. Warburton revealed the truth about his resignation ahead of Brentford's playoff campaign in May 2015: "I believe the manager should choose the team and have the final say," Warburton said of him. I think there will be a lot more emphasis on numerical modelling than is currently. There are certain elements that I think have been successful at this football club, but Matthew's board and the board have reached a decision." Warburton was linked with managerial positions at Leicester City, Queens Park Rangers, Aston Villa, Derby County, Newcastle United, Leeds United, and Norwich City from the outbreak of the news to the 2014-15 season.

Brentford's form plummeted as a result of Warburton's retirement, with successive losses to Watford and Charlton Athletic, bringing the club from 6th to 7th place and out of the playoff positions. Warburton was named London Manager of the Year at the 2015 London Football Awards on March 5th. Brentford's biggest ever league victory at the ground of their West London rivals, a run of 17 points from a potential 27 (including a 4–1 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage, the team's biggest ever league victory at the ground of their West London rivals) saw the team jump to fifth position in the table on April 3rd. Brentford took the penultimate game of the season three points outside the playoffs, having won only five of their last 15 games since "Warburtongate." Warburton led Brentford to fifth position and a spot in the playoffs after the 1934-1935 season, with two victories and strong results elsewhere. Brentford's 2014–15 season came to an end with a 5–1 aggregate loss to Middlesbrough in the playoff semi-finals. In the 2014–15 season, Warburton's joint-fewest in the Football League used just 24 players. Warburton's winning percentage of 51.2 percent was the highest of any Brentford manager's career. On the 30th of May, he left Griffin Park after his deal came to an end.

Warburton's resignation was later discovered to be a result of his departure during the 2015 January transfer window, with only securing the signing of an injured Lewis MacLeod.

Warburton was appointed manager of Scottish Championship club Rangers on a three-year deal on June 15. Weir, a former Rangers captain, had been named as his assistant once more. Warburton referred to his appointment as a "tremendous honor." With victories in the second tier Scottish Championship (promotion to the Scottish Premiership) and the Scottish Challenge Cup in his first season, he led the Gers to a league and cup double. In the Scottish Cup Semi-Final, Mark Warburton's first Old Firm victory came on April 17th. Rangers and Celtic were tied at 2–2 after 90 minutes and extra time (Kenny Miller and Barrie McKay on the scoresheet for Rangers), but Rangers beat Rangers 5–4 on penalties. Rangers qualified to the 2016 Scottish Cup Final, losing 3–2 to Hibernian.

Warburton and Weir's contract with Rangers ended on July 12, 2016. Rangers fell far behind in the 2016–17 Scottish Premiership championship race, as Celtic moved 19 points straight after winning an Old Firm match on December 31. Warburton, Weir and head of recruitment Frank McParland resigned from their positions on February 10, 2017, according to a club statement. Warburton told BBC Scotland that he had not resigned and would seek legal assistance.

Warburton was appointed manager of Nottingham Forest in Nottingham Forest on a two-and-a-half year deal, with Weir as his assistant on March 14, 2017. On March 18, 2017, he played his first game in charge against Forest's local rivals Derby County. Following a 1–0 home loss by Sunderland, Warburton was dismissed by Forest on New Year's Eve 2017. Forest had lost 14 games, finishing 14th in the league.

Warbuton was announced as the head of Queens Park Rangers on a two-year contract on May 8th. In his first game in charge, he led QPR to victory over Stoke City, his first match in charge, and the first QPR manager to win his first match since Neil Warnock in March 2010. Warburton would leave QPR at the end of his deal on April 28, 2022. Michael Beale was officially appointed as his successor on June 1st 2022.
