Scott Rogers (born September 16, 1977) is an English association football coach. He is best known for his tenure as the head coach of the England Amputee National Football Team, whom he guided to an EAFF Nations League title in 2023.[1] In 2026, he was awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) for his contributions to disability sport.[3]

Early life and career; Rogers was born on September 16, 1977, in Blackpool, England. He trained as a physical education teacher and worked extensively in the sector, including serving as the head of PE at St John Rigby College in Wigan. Alongside his educational career, he worked in youth football development for over 20 years, holding coaching roles within professional youth academies at Blackburn Rovers and Wigan Athletic.[5]

Amputee football coaching; Rogers entered international disability football in late 2020 when he was appointed to the first-team coaching staff of the England Amputee National Football Team under then-manager Owen Coyle Jr. Operating as a first-team coach, he traveled with the squad to the 2021 European Amputee Football Championships in Poland and served on the technical staff during the 2022 Amputee Football World Cup in Turkey, where a young England roster secured a ninth-place finish.[2]

In December 2022, following Coyle's departure, the England Amputee Football Association (EAFA) appointed Rogers as the interim head coach. After restructuring efforts and building alignment with the Football Association (The FA), Rogers was named the permanent national team head coach in April 2023.

In June 2023, Rogers managed the national team at the inaugural European Amputee Football Federation (EAFF) Nations League tournament in Kraków, Poland. Under his tactical leadership, England went undefeated in the tournament, securing victories against the host nation, Poland, Spain, and reigning European and World champions Turkey—marking the national amputee side's first major international silverware in 34 years. The achievement was later honoured by the National Football Museum in February 2024, where Rogers unveiled the tournament trophy for permanent public display.[1]  

Beyond his national team duties, Rogers has contributed as a television pundit and match analyst for live disability football broadcasts on TNT Sports, including their coverage of the Amputee FA Cup Final.

Awards and recognition; In the 2026 King's Birthday Honours, Rogers was awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) for services to disability sport. His selection was formally commended by The FA's governing board for raising the national profile, competitive standards, and institutional visibility of inclusive sport throughout the United Kingdom.[3][4]
