With a new coach in town, we look back at some of those men who have previously been in charge of The Wire
Price tag:
As Steve Price meets Leeds in his first game as coach, so did Tony Smith, way back in 2009, who would become the club's most successful coach, but started with a home defeat!

So good they named him twice:
Twice The Wire have appointed a coach named Ashcroft, Ernie Ashcroft (1961-67) and Kevin Ashcroft (1982-84).

Do you come from a land down under:
The club's first Australian coach was Brian Johnson in November 1988.

Once, twice, three times…
The only year that The Wire have had three coaches was 2002 - Steve Anderson, David Plange, Paul Cullen.

Young at heart:
The Wire's youngest coach was Peter Harvey, born in Scotland, who was only 29 when he took the role on in October, 1970.
When the Saints go marching in:
The town that has produced the most Warrington coaches is St Helens, with three - Alex Murphy, Billy Benyon and Tony Barrow.

This old heart of mine:
Joe Egan (1969-70) was coaching at Warrington aged 51, slightly older than when Tony Smith left.
Down, down, deeper and down:
David Plange has the dubious record of being The Wire's worst coach statistically, only winning 4 out of 16 games.

The hometown boys:
Paul Cullen (2002-08) and Jackie Fleming (1967-68) are the only two Warringtonians to coach their hometown club.

The long and winding road:
Our only New Zealand coach, Ces Mountford, was given a 10-year contract in 1951, and not surprisingly became The Wire's longest serving coach.
