In February 2019, he was appointed manager of English League Two club Oldham Athletic. He resigned as manager of the club in March 2019, having won once in his seven games, following interference from club owner Abdallah Lemsagam in first team affairs. He is currently the co-owner of English non-league club Salford City(he owns 10% of the club's proceeds).
