With all his premier league experience, maybe he could be our next permanent manager??
Following his retirement, Whitehead took up a coaching role at Huddersfield Town as part of David Wagner's first-team technical staff, having earned a UEFA A coaching license, and took charge of the Club's new Under-17 Academy age group from 1 January 2019. By October, he took charge for Huddersfield Town's Under-17s side.
On 16 November 2019, Whitehead joined Sam Ricketts' backroom staff at League One side Shrewsbury Town, replacing Joe Parkinson as first-team coach. On 25 August 2020, Whitehead was promoted to assistant manager after the departure of Jon Pitts and Graham Barrow. On 25 November, Whitehead and Ricketts were relieved of their duties with the club sitting 23rd in League One with just 9 points from a possible 39.
Whitehead joined the coaching staff at League Two side Port Vale in July 2021 as part of director of football David Flitcroft's summer overhaul; manager Darrell Clarke said that Whitehead "is definitely someone our squad can look up to". Having helped Vale to win promotion at the end of the 2021–22 season, he moved to Turkey in July 2022 to coach alongside Adam Murray at Süper Lig champions Beşiktaş. He left the club when head coach Valérien Ismaël was sacked three months later.

Worked with Hudson at Huddersfield. Home in Cheshire. Liverpool fan. Best mates with Liam Lawrence.
He hasn’t stayed long at any of these clubs and much of has been at a lower level than we are.
It doesn’t exactly shout “ambition”, but let’s see.
Well....this is super exciting.....
That's it then
Hudson and Whitehead till the end of the season
Come on City
If results don't improve is it possible that we could sack Hudson and replace him with another interim manager?
Has that ever happened before?
Full of optimism me 😁
Hudson knows and trusts him, has had plenty of league playing experience under a range of managers, hopefully it gives Hudson a bit more planning and Managing time, he's probably been very stretched over the last few weeks. Good luck to them both, if we can get Robinson playing well we should pull away from the bottom to mid table and build from there.
Fair play we go from not announcing a new manager to now announcing the next interim early.
Always on the front foot City.
