Coaching career
At the age of 21, Sadler entered coaching, joining Newcastle United in 2001. During his time at the club, Sadler was appointed reserve team manager, helping the side to win the Northumberland Senior Cup.

Sadler later joined Plymouth Argyle, eventually becoming first team coach under manager Peter Reid.[4] In August 2011, Sadler joined Manchester City as under-18 coach.[5] Following two years at Manchester City, Sadler took up a coaching role at Ukrainian club Tavriya Simferopol.[2]
