Coaching

Having worked previously as his assistant manager at Oldham Athletic, Wright followed John Sheridan to League Two side Chesterfield to serve in the same capacity, in June 2009. He was made Caretaker Manager following the sacking of Sheridan on 27 August 2012, with Mark Crossley assisting.

Wright was appointed assistant head coach of Barnsley on 25 February 2015

Alleged corruption

Wright was suspended by the club on 28 September 2016 pending investigation into allegations that he had taken a £5,000 cash bribe to arrange player' transfers. The following day, 29 September 2016, Wright had his contract with the club terminated.
