Billy Reid (born 18 July 1963) is a Scottish football player and coach, who is the assistant manager to Graham Potter at Östersunds. Reid played for Queen of the South, Clyde, Hamilton Academical and Stirling Albion during the 1980s and 1990s. After a spell as caretaker manager of Clyde in 2002, he was appointed manager in 2004. After one season as Clyde manager, Reid was appointed manager of Hamilton. The club won promotion to the Scottish Premier League in 2008, when Reid also won the PFA Scotland Manager of the Year award. Despite being relegated in 2011, Reid continued as Hamilton manager until April 2013. In November 2013, he moved to Swedish club Östersunds as an assistant coach.
In his playing days Reid started off at Dumfries club, Queen of the South where he was signed by Nobby Clark. Reid was later remembered by team mate Tommy Bryce as one of the best players at the club. The three were part of a successful promotion campaign in 1985/86 from the then Scottish Second Division. It was at Queens where Reid gave his longest service as a player.
Reid then played for Clyde, Hamilton Academical and Stirling Albion.
Reid began his managerial career in 2002 with a caretaker appointment at a club he had played for, Scottish First Division club Clyde. This was in between the departure of Allan Maitland and the appointment of Alan Kernaghan. He took over the Bully Wee on a permanent basis in 2004 following Kernaghan's two-year spell and took the side to second place in his only season in charge.
