Management Career |
|
Club(s) |
Following his retirement through injury in
1939, on 12 May, Rowe became a coach in Budapest for the summer, and
offered a contract by the Hungarian FA to coach their Olympic side.
However, WWII broke, and Rowe became a PT instructor. Became the
secretary-manager at Chelmsford City FC, succeeding Harry Warren on 4 July
1945. Despite applying for the vacant managers job at Brentford AFC in
February 1949, Tottenham Hotspur FC appointed Rowe as their manager on 4
May 1949 after months of speculation and remained until 20 June 1955,
leaving on health grounds and replaced with Jimmy Anderson. Became a chief
scout at West Bromwich Albion FC from 17 August 1957 for Vic Buckingham.
Rowe then resigned on 25 October 1958 to become the assistant manager to
George Smith at Crystal Palace FC, becoming their caretaker manager after
Smith resigned on 13 April 1960, appointed full-time manager on 25 April.
Rowe then took holiday leave on 4 December 1962, returning to light duties
on 4 February 1963, eventually getting replaced, but remained in the
background. Rowe did become the assistant manager to Dick Graham for the
1963-64 season, had an administrative position over the first team in
November 1965, while Graham had surgery and recovered, and then took over
as a caretaker General Manager after Graham was sacked on 4 January 1966
for the remainder of the season, afterwhich, he reverted to being the
assistant, until 14 January 1971, when he resigned from Palace to become
Chief Host at Football's Hall of Fame, an exhibition in London. Orient FC
then took on Rowe as a consultant on 24 January 1972 until 1978,
afterwhich he took up a similar experience at Millwall FC. |
