Nicholas Cushing (born 9 November 1984)[1] is an English football manager who was most recently the head coach of New York City FC in Major League Soccer.

[1] In 2013, as the Manchester City Women began their preparations for their first season in the newly expanded WSL, Cushing was offered his first senior role when he was promoted to the women's team's managerial position, trading places with incumbent manager Leigh Wood, who left the club shortly afterwards.

Returning from the break, England's performance seemingly brought Cushing's City team to life as he managed them to a run of 12 wins in 13 matches.

[5] Cushing then added to his trophy haul with a second WSL Cup triumph in a match which was equally notable for his decision to remain through extra time to the final whistle despite being called to attend his wife going into labour with his third child.

[6] Nick also added to his honours with a personal gong, winning Manager of the Year at the FA's Women's Football Awards.
