Richard Shaw

International Whilst at Crystal Palace Shaw was called up to the England squad by Terry Venables as cover for the Umbro Cup in 1995. However, he was ultimately never capped by the senior side.

Coaching career In October 2007, while still a player, Shaw was appointed caretaker manager of Millwall after the sacking of Willie Donachie. The club appointed Kenny Jackett as manager on 6 November 2007, after which Shaw played very little. Approaching his 40th birthday, he retired at the end of the 2007–08 season and took up a coaching role with the South London club.

Prior to the start of the 2012–13 season, Shaw left Millwall to take up the assistant manager's position at his previous club Coventry City, working under his former Crystal Palace teammate Andy Thorn. The Midlands side had removed their previous assistant manager Steve Harrison following the club's relegation from the Championship. After the club drew their opening three games of the League One season, Thorn was sacked and Shaw was appointed caretaker manager, working alongside first-team coach Lee Carsley. His first game in charge saw Coventry defeat local rivals Birmingham City 3–2 in the League Cup. At this time Shaw succeeded in reaching the final shortlist for the permanent manager's post alongside Mark Robins and Paul Ince. Shaw managed five further Coventry matches, winning a Football League Trophy tie against Burton Albion on penalties, but losing four consecutive league games. On 19 September, the day after the last of those matches, a 4–1 defeat at recently promoted Shrewsbury Town, Robins was appointed permanent manager of Coventry. Shaw returned to his position of assistant manager, but Steve Taylor, Robins's colleague at Barnsley and Rotherham, was appointed first-team coach and Shaw's contract was ultimately terminated 27 days after the appointment of the new manager.

By January 2013, Shaw was an under 16 head coach and then became under-23 head coach at Crystal Palace. In October 2019, the club issued a statement announcing that Shaw was to leave "to pursue other opportunities". Shaw joined Watford in January 2021, working as under-23 assistant coach under Omer Riza. In 2023 Shaw joined the Canada staff for the Nations League & Gold Cup tournaments held in Canada & USA. In December 2024, Shaw was appointed as an assistant manager to Riza at Cardiff City.
