Career
He later became a manager, taking charge of Shrewsbury Town and Weymouth. He managed 12 appearances during this season, and made the position his own in the 1962-1963 campaign, replacing Malcolm Finlayson. In 1968, the goalkeeper left Wolves for Second Division Cardiff City where he played over 100 games in total before moving onto Bournemouth (then Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic) two years later.
Upon retiring from playing, he joined his former Bournemouth manager John Bond as a coach at Norwich City and later had two spells on the coaching staff at Swansea City during the 1980s.
He joined up again with John Bond in the early 1990s at Shrewsbury Town and stepped in as caretaker manager after Bond"s resignation in May 1993. He took the club to Wembley for the first time in their history in April 1996 when they reached the final of the Auto Windscreens Shield, only to lose 2–1 to Rotherham United.
Davies steered the club clear of the drop in the third tier for two seasons before relegation struck in 1996-1997, which cost him his job. He later managed Weymouth from 1997 to 1999.
