Career

As a player, Round was a full-back with Derby County, before being forced to retire early through injury after only nine league appearances. He joined the club's coaching staff, and it was here that he first worked with Steve McClaren. When McClaren was appointed Middlesbrough manager in 2001, he appointed Round to his coaching staff.

Head coach

McClaren was named as England head coach in 2006, and again appointed Round to his backroom staff. Round continued with Middlesbrough in a dual role until 15 December 2006, when he left the club by mutual consent following a "difference in philosophy and ideas" with new manager Gareth Southgate.[1]

Team coach

He became first-team coach at Newcastle on 1 July 2007, working under Sam Allardyce. On 4 July 2008, Round became the new assistant manager to David Moyes at Everton, replacing Alan Irvine who had left midway through the previous season.

Assistant Manager

In May 2013 it was announced Round would follow Moyes to Manchester United, where he was to succeed long-serving manager Sir Alex Ferguson.[2] Round started in his new post on 1 July. On 22 April 2014, Round was relieved of his duties at United following the sacking of Moyes.[3]

Director

On 1 September 2016, Round was appointed as Director of Football at Aston Villa.[4] On 4 July 2018, Round left Aston Villa as director of football.[5]
