On 23 May 2017, former Leeds United winger Harry Kewell was appointed head coach of League Two club Crawley Town, becoming the first Australian to coach a professional English side, with Warren Feeney appointed assistant manager to Kewell. Kewell managed Crawley to a 14th-placed finish, which was their best since their relegation from League One. Kewell left the club shortly into the 2018–19 season, to manage fellow League Two club Notts County. Gabriele Cioffi was appointed as his successor a week later and led the club to finish 19th that season.
