Steve Holland (born 30 April 1970) is an English football coach who is currently assistant first team coach at Chelsea. Holland is also Assistant Manager to Gareth Southgate with the full England team.
As a schoolboy, Holland progressed through the academy at Derby County until his late teens, when, after a bad injury, he was told that he would not be kept on. He had short stints playing professional football for Bury and for Husqvarna ff of Sweden and semi-pro for Northwich Victoria but, aged 21, Holland decided to go into coaching.
Holland was appointed as a youth coach at Crewe Alexandra in 1992, aged 22 by Dario Gradi, who had coached Holland as a schoolboy. Holland had successfully completed the FA Full Coaching Licence aged 22, one of the youngest recipients of the coaching award . Holland went on to work at the club for 17 years working with young players of every age in the clubs highly successful youth Academy. Holland slowly made his way through the coaching ranks at Crewe before becoming the club's Academy Director. Holland also had a spell as first team coach during the clubs successful period in the Championship.
At the start of the 2006–07 season, Gradi revealed that Holland would be involved more in the first team set-up for the season. On 20 April 2007, it was announced by the football club that Gradi would be taking up a new role as Technical Director on 1 July 2007 while Holland would be promoted to the role of First-Team Coach, whilst keeping his job as Academy Director. Gradi revealed that Holland was the "right man" to eventually replace him and that the move was a "gradual transition".
In July 2007 Holland completed the UEFA English Pro Licence coaching award and went on to complete the LMA-PFA Certificate in applied Management at Warwick University in 2009.
The move meant that Holland's role at the club was much nearer to being a manager rather than a coach. He left this role on 18 November 2008 and was replaced by former manager Dario Gradi, after which he held talks with the club to decide his future there.
However, in December 2008, it was reported that Holland would be leaving Crewe. In March 2009, he was appointed manager of the youth academy at nearby Stoke City.
