Justin Cochrane started his coaching career while a teenage player at QPR when he placed an advert in his local paper for juniors to teach.
It didn’t make big news but the former Antigua and Barbuda international has been working his way up the coaching ladder helping youngsters ever since. His dedication behind the scenes has seen Cochrane earn a big reputation within the game at Spurs and England previously.
Now he will step out into the limelight as part of Manchester United ’s coaching staff overseeing their FA Youth Cup final bid alongside Travis Binnion. Described in June 2020 by England manager Gareth Southgate as “a top coach” in the making, Cochrane’s diligent work within the FA saw him almost appointed England U21 boss last summer.
