Tom Hounsell (born 21 October 1995) is an English football manager. He was the interim manager of Burton Albion in EFL League One in 2024.
Career
Hounsell is a former director of football programmes at St Mary's University, Twickenham, and worked at Fulham's academy before being appointed assistant manager of Burton Albion in EFL League One in June 2024. The new manager appointed was Mark Robinson, who moved from Chelsea's development squad.[2] The pair were appointed by Burton's new owners, the Nordic Football Group (NFG).[3] Robinson was sacked on 23 October with the club bottom, with four points from 11 games and no wins; Hounsell was named interim manager.[4]
On 9 November, his team won 2–0 at home to Shrewsbury Town to secure their first win of the season at the fourteenth attempt.[5] On 5 December, NFG said that Hounsell was being considered for the job on a permanent basis, having taken the club off last place in the table.[6] On 17 December 2024,[7] after a 4–0 defeat to Stevenage in the EFL Trophy a week prior,[8] and following the appointment of Gary Bowyer, Hounsell opted to leave the club.[9] He finished his managing career at Burton Albion having been in charge for 12 games.[7]
