Turner is one of relatively few former goalkeepers to make the leap into football management.

His first solo managerial position came at Hartlepool United in 1999. Turner took over when the Monkey Hangers were bottom of the Football League, saved them from relegation and turned them into promotion contenders.

Meanwhile, Turner had been faced with the difficult task of saving Wednesday from sliding into the third tier of the league for the first time in a quarter of a century. The Owls improved during the final stages of the season, achieving some strong results, but a 1-1 draw with fellow strugglers Brighton (who lost their fight to stay up on the final day) condemned them to relegation. Turner was optimistic of getting the Owls back into the Premiership by 2008, but their Division Two campaign in 2003-04 was dismal. They finished 16th in the table (their worst position for nearly 30 years) and were the division's lowest scorers with 48 goals. Turner was sacked in September 2004 after a slow start to the League One campaign.

Chris Turner returned to management with another financially-insecure club, Stockport County, soon after being dismissed by debt-ridden Wednesday. County were bottom of League One at the time survival proved too great a task for both the playing squad and Turner, and Stockport were relegated to League Two long before the end of the season. Despite a takeover by a Supporters' Trust and some promising signings, County struggled to find form in the early part of the 2005/06 season. By the end of November, Stockport had drawn eleven of their nineteen league games and winning just two. December saw County in a crisis, with a run of four consecutive defeats in the league, culminating in a humiliating 6-0 defeat to local rivals Macclesfield Town on Boxing Day. With Stockport now five points adrift at the bottom of the league, Chris Turner left the club by mutual consent on 27 December 2005. Following Turner's departure, former Stockport player Jim Gannon took over as manager and oversaw a remarkable recovery which saw County retain their league status in a nail-biting finish to the season.
