Brett Angell

Coaching career Angell worked as a youth team coach at Bolton Wanderers and Portsmouth. However, his tenure as youth and reserve team coach at Portsmouth lasted only five months, and he was relieved of his position in April 2006. After a similar position at Bolton Wanderers, Angell then worked as a Coach Educator, teaching coaching courses for the Football Association, before taking up a Central Football regional coaching job in New Zealand. He was appointed head coach at New Zealand Football Championship club Hawke's Bay United in September 2014. Some players made it known that they would have preferred incumbent head coach Chris Greatholder to have stayed, and were released by Angell. He took the club to third in 2014–15 and second in 2015–16, though he faced continued speculation over his future at the club. In May 2019 he confirmed that he would not take up the club's offer to reapply for the position.

Personal life He is the brother of fellow professional footballer, Darren Angell.
