Tim Sherwood

Where is Tim Sherwood now?

Former Blackburn Rovers captain, Tim Sherwood retired from playing in 2005 after a short spell with Coventry City.

Starting his career in 1987 for Watford, he went onto make 601 first-team appearances for six clubs over an 18-year period with undoubtedly the highlight being the Premier League title with Blackburn in 1995 and the First Division title with Portsmouth in 2003.

On the international scene he won three caps for the England senior side in 1999 under Kevin Keegan but failed to establish himself in a squad which included the likes of established midfielders Paul Ince and Paul Scholes.

Immediately after hanging up his boots, Sherwood started a new career in the broadcasting world and joined Setanta Sports as a pundit for their Premier League coverage.

Unfortunately the channel collapsed so he made a return to football and joined his former Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp as assistant first-team coach at Tottenham Hotspur.

Promoted to Technical Director in 2012, Sherwood led the Spurs under-21’s side to top spot in the group and elite stages of the inaugural Professional Development League.

After Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas was sacked in early December 2013, Sherwood temporarily took over first team affairs before a permanent appointment at the end of the month. Despite finishing sixth in the league and having the best ever Premier League record by a Spurs manager he was dismissed at the end of the 2013/14 season.

After turning down the vacant manager’s job at West Bromwich Albion he was appointed manager of struggling Aston Villa in February 2015 on a three-year contract with the sole aim of keeping them from relegation.

He not only successfully avoided relegation with a game to spare, he also managed to get his Villa side to the FA Cup Final where they lost to Arsenal. However, the new 2015-16 season was a disaster for Sherwood and he was sacked after his Villa side won only one of their first ten games.

He made a return to football in November 2016 when he was appointed as director of football at League One side Swindon Town on a part-time basis. but left the following June following the side’s relegation and a change of club structure.

Returning to broadcasting he has worked as a pundit for Al-Jazeera and Amazon Prime Video and is a regular contributor on both BT Sport and Sky Sports.
