Peter Eustace
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Eustace is a former football manager. Peter played for many seasons with Sheffield Wednesday, before moving into management with the club. He moved into management in November 1988 at Sheffield Wednesday, being promoted from assistant manager after Howard Wilkinson moved to Leeds United. Eustace was sacked after just three months and replaced by Ron Atkinson, and is rated by many as the worst manager ever to take charge of Sheffield Wednesday.
In 1991, Eustace returned to football as head coach at Leyton Orient, working under General Manager Frank Clark. He took over full managerial duties when Clark moved to Nottingham Forest, but was sacked a year later in favour of goalkeeper Chris Turner.
Eustace returned to Sheffield Wednesday as a scout during Chris Turner's brief managerial tenure at Sheffield Wednesday. Sheffield Wednesday have since made Eustace redundant as part of an overhaul of the coaching staff in 2006.
