He moved on to Norwich City as the head coach of their under-21's before joining the coaching staff at Aston Villa.

He was appointed as assistant manager of Swindon Town in July 2021 before leaving alongside Ben Garner to become assistant coach at Charlton Athletic in June 2022.

Playing career
Marshall started his playing career at Arsenal and broke into their first team at the age of 19, winning five Scotland under-21 caps.[3] He scored his only goal for the Gunners in their 2–0 victory over Newcastle United in March 1996[4] and at the end of that season was voted as Arsenal's Young Player of the Year by the supporters.[5]

He never appeared again for Saints and went out on loan to Celtic, where his only appearance was in an Old Firm derby with Rangers in May 1999.[8] Marshall ended up on the wrong end of a 3–0 scoreline, a game which saw Celtic's bitter rivals win the league at Celtic Park.[8][9] This meant that Marshall had featured in just three league games in the 1998–99 season (two for Southampton and one for Celtic), had lost all three and had conceded ten goals.[10]
Marshall then joined Brentford in October 1999 for a fee of £250,000. Unfortunately, after scoring yet another own goal in his third appearance for the Bees, he then suffered back problems which caused him to miss most of the 2001–02 season.[11] After battling his way back to fitness, he at last gained regular first team football making a total of 94 appearances for the Bees, scoring seven goals.[12][13] Marshall was released at the end of the 2002–03 season.[14]

SCOTT MARSHALL: The Southampton reserve, whose brother and father (both called Gordon) had also played for the Hoops, made his debut for the club on 2 May 1999, the day after his 26th birthday. However, there were to be no happy returns for the centre-half, who produced a plodding performance and was culpable at the final goal as Rangers won 3–0. It's the only time they have clinched the title at Parkhead and Marshall never featured for Celtic again, finishing his career with Brentford and Wycombe.
