Henry John Newman (born 1989) is first-team assistant coach at West Ham United

Career

Newman joined Barnet in 2009 as assistant coach for the under-18s team while completing a degree in economics and philosophy at the London School of Economics. Newman achieved five "A" grades at A Level.[1]

Newman left Barnet in 2011 to become under-15s coach at Charlton Athletic. He later coached at Brentford before re-joining Barnet in 2014 to become the youngest academy manager in the country.[2]

He was appointed joint interim manager at Barnet on 1 December 2016, alongside Rossi Eames. Eames took sole charge for a win over Morecambe on 14 February 2017 and, the following day, Newman's departure from the club was announced.[3]

In August 2019, Newman, along with business partner Rory Campbell, made a bid to purchase Bury through their company C&N Sporting Risk shortly before the club's deadline to show proof of funds to the English Football League. This bid fell through and Bury were expelled from the EFL.[4]

West Ham

Newman has been at West Ham United since January 2020, working as part of David Moyes’s backroom staff on opposition analysis and match preparation. He was made a first team assistant for the 2023/4 season.
