Glenn Roeder, (born December 13, 1955), is an English football manager and former player. He is currently the manager of Newcastle United's youth academy, his last job as a club manager was at West Ham United F.C. before being sacked on August 24, 2003. As a player, Roeder represented England 'B' on a total of 7 occasions.
Roeder began his playing career as a classy ball-playing defender at Leyton Orient F.C. before moving to Queens Park Rangers F.C. In 1984 he was transferred to Newcastle United, where he made close to 200 appearances during his 5 years at the club. Roeder finished his playing career with a two year spell at Watford followed by a 6 game stint at Gillingham before he was named manager of the club.
Roeder spent only one season as manager of Gillingham, during which time he led the side to 13 wins in 51 games. After Steve Perryman's dismissal, Roeder was hired as the new manager of his former club, Watford, at the start of the 1993/94 season. In his second season with Watford he almost took the side to the play-offs, eventually finishing just one place outside them. However, he was sacked in February 1996 as the side were struggling near the bottom of the First Division. His replacement, Kenny Jackett, was unable to prevent the side from being relegated.
Roeder spent the next five years as a coach with both England and West Ham before being given another opportunity at management. Following West Ham's failure to attract either Alan Curbishley or Steve McClaren as replacements for the recently departed Harry Redknapp, Roeder, who was acting caretaker-manager, was appointed as West Ham's new manager in the summer of 2001.
On April 21, 2003, whilst West Ham were battling to remain in the FA Premier League, Roeder collapsed in his office due to a brain tumour. After taking the rest of the season off he returned to manage the side at the start of the next season. However, after a poor start in the First Division, Roeder was sacked by the newly relegated side. After nearly two years out of the game, he returned to football in June 2005 when he was named youth-development manager of Newcastle United.
