Chris Millington (born 8 September 1975) is an English football coach. He is currently manager of National League club FC Halifax Town.
Coaching career
Millington played as a midfielder as a youngster, including a spell at Manchester City, but did not have a professional playing career. He then began his coaching career at Altrincham U18s before working at a number of clubs at both youth and first team level, including Curzon Ashton, Macclesfield and Stockport County.
He then worked with Pete Wild in the Oldham Athletic academy after meeting whilst studying together for their UEFA A License. Millington was then appointed his assistant during Wild's two caretaker spells of the first team.
In July 2019, Wild was named as the new first team manager of FC Halifax Town. The following month, Millington was announced as his assistant. The pair worked together at the West Yorkshire club for three seasons until Wild moved to manage League Two side Barrow in May 2022.
The day after Wild's departure, Millington was confirmed as his replacement as first team manager. In his first season with the Shaymen, he led them to an 11th placed league finish and victory in the 2023 FA Trophy final at Wembley.
Millington's second season as manager saw Halifax finish 7th in the league, qualifying for the playoffs. His side ultimately lost 4-2 in the quarter finals to eventual finalists Solihull Moors.
