Adrian John Tucker (born 26 September 1976) is a Welsh former professional football goalkeeper who is currently a goalkeeping coach at Swansea City in the EFL Championship.

Career

Born in Merthyr Tydfil, Tucker began his playing career with Torquay United. His debut came in December 1994, during an FA Cup second round replay at home to Enfield, when regular Torquay goalkeeper Ashley Bayes was sent off.[2]

A shoulder injury spoiled Tucker's professional career. After leaving Torquay in 1995 he played in the Welsh Premier League and Welsh pyramid system for a number of years and spent 12 years working for the Football Association of Wales in their technical coaching and development department.

In October 2007, Tucker took charge of his first match for the Wales women's national football team, following the resignation of Andy Beattie the previous August.[3] A catastrophic two-year spell in charge saw Tucker preside over a series of humiliating drubbings and fall out with Wales' leading player and captain Jayne Ludlow.[4] He was replaced with Jarmo Matikainen in August 2010.[5]

Tucker had previously joined Swansea City in July 2009 as a goalkeeping coach under incoming manager Paulo Sousa, replacing Iñaki Bergara who had followed Roberto Martínez to Wigan Athletic.[6] After Sousa's departure Tucker remained as part of Brendan Rodgers' backroom staff, as the Swans gained promotion to the FA Premier League. Following Rodgers' departure to Liverpool, Tucker continued in his role under Michael Laudrup where the Swans won the League Cup in 2013 and entered the Europa League. After five seasons working for Swansea City, Tucker was replaced by Sevilla goalkeeping coach Javier García on 27 June 2014.[7]

Tucker then took up the position as the goalkeeper coach of England under-20s managed by Aidy Boothroyd and the Academy goalkeeping coach/consultant at Birmingham City.

On 16 March 2015 Tucker joined Dick Advocaat's staff at Sunderland following the dismissal of Gus Poyet and helped secure Premier League survival. He has since worked under Sam Allardyce, David Moyes, Simon Grayson, and Chris Coleman. He returned to Swansea City in June 2018 as Graham Potter's goalkeeping coach.[8]
