Scott Sellars (born 27 November 1965) is an English former professional football player, who was Head of Academy Coaching [1] at Manchester City.

Career

On 24 April 1993 he scored the winning goal for the Magpies in their 1-0 win over local rivals Sunderland in Division One at St James's Park, which meant that they only needed a point from their final three games to be sure of promotion.[2]

Sellars joined Manchester City as Academy coach in October 2009 [3] after previously holding the role of assistant manager at Chesterfield in the League Two.

He was sacked from Manchester City on 11 April 2014 after a "difference of footballing opinion with the current regime" [4] and fears over the club's homegrown quota.

Recently appointed to the coaching staff at Wolverhampton Wanderers FC.
