The ex-Reds defender has since been head of club development at Southport FC following managerial spells at Oxford United, Chester City, Peterborough United and Maltese side Floriana.
On top of that he regularly appears as a pundit on LFC TV and is also the founder of several football education programmes.
Is he married and has he adopted children?
Born in 1963, Wright and his wife Sue became foster careers for a three-year-old girl in 2008.
He has since used his experience and profile to advocate for more people to help children in need.
The footy boss is also an ambassador for Foster Care Associates, helping them with national campaigns to raise awareness about adoption.
In 2015 he organised a football match on top of a hotel roof in an event designed to put a spotlight on the 10,000 kids in the UK who are waiting for foster parents.
Ex-Liverpool and Everton players John Barnes, Neville Southall and Peter Reid also took part in the event.

What is Harry’s Heroes: The Full English?
Wright will feature in the ITV show which will see England legends head abroad for a rematch with the German side they beat 4-2 last year.
The veteran Three Lions side is being coached by former West Ham and Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp.
Redknapp is tasked with getting the team of unfit England footie heroes back in shape, back into the Three Lions shirts they wore with pride in their heyday.
The three-part show airs on ITV on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
