Academy Age Group Coaches

To strengthen and further develop our youth development staff, the club is currently seeking Lead Coaches and Assistant Coaches for some of our U9-U16 boys age groups for the 2026/27 season. This role would suit Coaches looking to extend their experience and progress their careers. The club has a strong record in developing staff across areas including coaching, with many individuals progressing on to exciting positions within the game.

The successful candidates for Lead Coach positions will hold a minimum of a UEFA B Licence, as well as relevant age-appropriate qualifications. Assistant Coaches currently enrolled on the UEFA B Licence may be considered. Experience in a professional academy football environment would be highly advantageous. All positions are contingent upon a Category 3 Licence under EPPP being awarded this summer.

Founded in 1907, Rochdale AFC is an established professional football club, who will compete in EFL League Two for the 2026/27 season, alongside FA Cup, Carabao Cup, and Vertu Trophy knockout competition commitments. We are involved in a broad range of sporting, commercial, and charitable activities, following the acquisition of a controlling stake in the club by The Ogden Family in May 2024.
