Manager & Coaches
Peter Caulfield - First Team Manager
Peter Caulfield joined Glasgow City as manager in 1999 as the club prepared for it’s first season in the Scottish Premier League, after successfully winning the Scottish First Division at the first attempt.As holder of the SFA ‘A’ Introductory Licence certificate and ‘B’ Licence, Peter was the ideal candidate at the time to match the ambitions of a club who had been formed with the vision of establishing itself as the forerunner in Scottish Women’s Football.
Prior to taking charge at Glasgow City, Peter managed Monklands Ladies for a 2 year period, from 1997–1999, where he guided them to a First Division Championship Title and promotion to the Premier League.
In his time at City, Peter has led the club to four Scottish Premier League Titles in 2004/05, 2007/08, 2008/09, 2009 and four times into the UEFA Women's Champions League. This included City's remarkable feat in 2008, when along with Head Coach Eddie Wolecki, he guided Glasgow City to the last sixteen, the first Scottish team ever to do so.
He has also managed the club to 3 Scottish Cup triumphs in 2004, 2006 and 2009, and one Premier League Cup victory in 2009.
Under the manager the club has competed in 7 of the last 12 domestic cup finals.
The club has also achieved 5 Premier League Runners-up finishes since 2000/01, a level of consistency that has established Glasgow City as a major force in Scottish Women’s Football. Overall, City have remained in the top two in the Premier League for the past seven years, a feat unmatched by any other side.
As well as managing Glasgow City, Peter has also served women’s football well, by first of all holding the position of Vice-Chairman of the SWPL and then for 3 seasons the role of SWPL fixtures secretary, which he officially handed over to the matches department of the Scottish Football Association, when they assumed total responsibility for the running of the SWPLat the start of the 2007/08 season.
