Stephen James Coppell is an English retired football player and manager. Originally from Liverpool, Coppell studied at Quarry Bank High School, where he was part of their football program. Despite drawing the attention of some major clubs, he chose to play for the lower league Merseyside club Tranmere Rovers because he wanted to pursue a degree in economic history at the University of Liverpool. In 1975, he joined Manchester United and became one of their most prolific players of the time. He was a gifted right-winger whose speed and work rate made him an indispensable part of the team. During his eight seasons there, he scored 53 goals. He also played for the English national team, scoring seven goals in 42 matches. His playing career was cut short in 1983 due to a knee injury, and he subsequently became a manager. In the ensuing years, he has managed teams like Crystal Palace, Manchester City, Brentford, and Bristol City. The first Indian club he managed was the Indian Super League team Kerala Blasters. In 2018, he was appointed as ATK’s head coach.
