Michael "Mick" Wadsworth (born 3 November 1950) is an English football coach and former player. Mick is currently the Senior Youth Development Coach at Sheffield United.
Born in Barnsley his playing career spanned only one season in The Football League with Scunthorpe United, along with spells playing for Gainsborough Trinity, Mossley and Frickley Athletic. Following the end of his playing career he took up coaching and has had a number of roles at a range of clubs including spells as manager of Frickley Athletic, Carlisle United, Scarborough, Colchester United, Oldham Athletic, Huddersfield Town, Portuguese side Beira-Mar, Chester City and Celtic Nation. He has also managed the national sides of both St. Kitts & Nevis and Democratic Republic of Congo. Wadsworth has also held a number of coaching roles, including eight years working in a number of roles for The FA.
Wadsworth was, for a very short time, a player. But with his Football League playing experience limited to 28 appearances for Scunthorpe United in the 1976–77 season, it is for coaching that he is best known.
