Where is Ugo Ehiogu now?
Premier League legend Ugo Ehiogu retired from playing professionally in 2009 after his contract was terminated by Sheffield United in a bid to cut costs.
Making over 400 first-team appearances over a 20-year period, Ehiogu spent most of his career at Aston Villa and Middlesbrough and was a League Cup winner at both sides.
He also represented the England national side on four occasions scoring one goal.
In 2012 Ehiogu made a brief playing comeback with Wembley FC as part of their well publicised FA Cup run attempt. He only played one game after they got knocked out in the preliminary rounds.
A year later he had his first taste of football coaching when he joined up with the England under-20’s coaching set up for the 2013 Under-20 World Cup Finals.
Whilst studying for his UEFA coaching licence, he was invited to work at Tottenham Hotspur as assistant coach of their academy under-16’s team and upon completing his A licence in 2015 he was promoted to coach of their under-21’s side.
On the 20th April 2017, Ehiogu collapsed suddenly at the Tottenham Hotspur training ground after suffering a cardiac arrest and tragically died in the early hours the following day.
He was only 44 years of age when he died.
