a coaching capacity with the club's academy and reserve teams. He made his reserve-team debut for the club against Liverpool on the day of his return. When manager David Moyes left the club to replace Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United in May 2013, Weir was interviewed by Bill Kenwright for the vacant role at Everton, but the job instead went to Roberto Martínez. Sheffield United manager In June 2013, Weir signed a three-year deal to manage League One side Sheffield United. Despite winning his first competitive game in charge, a 2–1 victory over Notts County, United struggled under his management and failed to win any of their following twelve matches, leading to growing pressure from the club's fans for Weir to be sacked. After United were beaten at home by League Two side Hartlepool United, eliminating them from the Football League Trophy, Weir was sacked on 11 October 2013. Assistant to Mark Warburton Following the departure of caretaker Alan Kernaghan, Weir was appointed as Mark Warburton's assistant manager at League One side Brentford on 16 December 2013. After a successful season which saw Brentford promoted to the Championship, Weir signed a new one-year rolling contract to remain with the Griffin Park club. On 17 February 2015, it was announced that Weir, Warburton and Sporting Director Frank McParland would leave Brentford at the end of the 2014–15 season. On 15 June 2015, Weir returned to Rangers on a three-year deal to assist Warburton. Weir and Warburton extended their contracts with Rangers by a further year in July 2016. In February 2017 Rangers released an official statement claiming that Weir, Warburton and head of recruitment Frank McParland had resigned their positions, effective immediately. This was denied in a joint statement by all three men, but their tenure at the club had nonetheless come to an end. Weir then assisted Warburton at Nottingham Forest, but they were sacked on 31 December 2017. Brighton & Hove Albion As of April 2019, Weir was working for Brighton & Hove Albion in a role in which he manages young players who are loaned out to foreign clubs. Personal life As of 2011, Weir and his wife Fiona had four children: Lucas, Jensen, Kenzie and Ruben. Lucas and Jensen are also footballers who play as midfielders while Kenzie plays as a defender. They were all born in Warrington. Lucas plays for semi-professional club Marine. Jensen is
