| Nigel James Gibbs (born 20 November 1965) is an English professional football manager and former player. He is currently a first team coach at Reading and has been an assistant coach at Swansea City, has previously worked as a coach with the Under-19 squad of Tottenham Hotspur and has been assistant manager of Asteras Tripolis in Greece.
A Watford supporter, as well as a product of their youth system, Gibbs spent his entire professional career as a right back for the club. He was assistant manager of Leeds United after being appointed on 12 April 2013 alongside Brian McDermott, whom he assisted at Reading. He departed from Leeds United in August 2014.
Gibbs made his Watford debut in 1983, in front of 38,000 spectators in a UEFA Cup match against Sparta Prague. In his early career Gibbs also played nine times for the England youth team, and five times for England under-21s. Under the management of Graham Taylor, Gibbs eventually established himself as a first-team player at Watford, making 100 Football League appearances before the club's relegation from the First Division in 1988. Gibbs remained a key player for the team in the Second Division, and was voted Watford F.C. Player of the Season in 1992.
Manager Glenn Roeder appointed Gibbs as club captain for the 1992–93 season, but a series of serious injuries restricted him to 33 appearances over the following four seasons. Wikipedia text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License - Full article |
