Barnsley

When Barnsley sacked manager Keith Hill on 29 December 2012, following a defeat by Blackburn Rovers Scott was asked to help out caretaker manager David Flitcroft. The arrangement came about after Scott texted to his friend to express his condolences over the managerial dismissal. Former Fleetwood Town manager Mickey Mellon also came in to help Flitcroft in similar circumstances.

On 13 January 2013, the day after Barnsley won 2–0 at home to Leeds United, Flitcroft was named permanent manager with Mellon as his assistant and Scott as first-team coach.
