David Horseman (born 26 December 1983) is an English football coach who is the Under-21s Head Coach at Arsenal.

Career

Horseman joined Southampton in August 2019 after coaching Bristol City and Watford.[2] He managed Southampton B, but was also involved with their first team.[3]

On 17 July 2023, he was appointed as head coach of Forest Green Rovers, replacing caretaker manager Hannah Dingley.[4][5] He said he was "incredibly proud" to take up the role.[6] After winning only two of their first seven games, Horseman said the players had to deal with their nerves.[7] On 20 December 2023, Forest Green Rovers parted ways with him by mutual consent.[8]

On 1 July 2024, Horseman was appointed first-team coach at League One side Bristol Rovers.[9] In December 2024, following the sacking of manager Matt Taylor, Horseman was appointed caretaker manager alongside fellow first-team coach Lee Cattermole.[10][11] He remained with the club after Iñigo Calderón was appointed manager on 26 December, although Cattermole left the club.[12] He departed the club following relegation at the end of the 2024–25 season.[13]

In September 2025, Horseman joined the academy of Arsenal in the role of Elite Player Development Coach.[14] He was appointed Under-21s Head Coach in August 2026.[15]
