Career

Sellars joined Manchester City as Academy coach in October 2009 [3] after previously holding the role of assistant manager at Chesterfield in the League Two.

He was sacked from Manchester City on 11 April 2014 after a "difference of footballing opinion with the current regime" [4] and fears over the club's homegrown quota.

Recently appointed to the coaching staff at Wolverhamton Wanderers FC.
