Trevor James Morgan (born 30 September 1956) is a former professional footballer and former head coach of the Kerala Blasters of the Indian Super League. He was the head coach of East Bengal for the 2017 I-League Season.He underwent a huge protest after East Bengal consecutively lost four matches,including the Kolkata derby.This forced him to resign as the head coach of East Bengal.
Morgan played as a centre-forward. He signed his first professional contract in 1980 with A.F.C. Bournemouth, and went on to make over 400 appearances for a variety of clubs in the lower leagues. In 1987, he joined Bristol City from rivals Bristol Rovers, for a fee of £10,000. No players would make the same move until Matty Taylor, 30 years later in January 2017. He scored several times that season helping Bristol City secure promotion to the Third division.
Morgan's first coaching role was as assistant to Terry Cooper at Birmingham City. He had previously been signed by Cooper four times as a player. He followed Cooper to Exeter, but left when the club went into administration. His next job was in Australia, as a coach at Perth club Sorrento. During this time, he took Australian citizenship.
After four years, he moved to Singapore as manager of Sengkang Punggol FC. In 2004, He went to Malaysia after being appointed as Sarawak FA head coach for upcoming newly formed, Malaysia Super League. It turned out to be disastrous season for both party, after bad performances led them to bottom of the league and he was fired from the post before being replaced by former head coach, Abdul Jalil Ramli. He returned to Sorrento before being offered the role of Development Coach at Hull City by former Bolton Wanderers colleague Phil Brown.
