.
In May 1902 he sought fresh fields, but as Burnley still held his Football League registration he had to pay them £35 to release him to join Liverpool
where he stayed for two seasons before moving on to Blackpool
in 1904. He was an ever-present for Blackpool in his one season with the club, and was also the club's top scorer with eight goals.

where his long career finally ended in 1908 aged 39.
where he coached various club sides including The Hague
and Haarlem
sides.
In 1908, Chadwick was approached to become coach of the Dutch national team. The experts are in disagreement as to whether Chadwick, or his predecessor Cees van Hasselt, should be considered as the first manager of the Dutch national team although it is generally considered that Van Hasselt was more a willing amateur than a proper coach.
Chadwick was appointed manager of the Netherlands
in order to prepare the team for the 1908 Summer Olympics
held in London
. As Hungary
had pulled out of the tournament, the Netherlands had a bye into the semi-finals where they met Great Britain
. This match ended in a 4-0 defeat (with all 4 goals coming from Harold Stapley
who later spent 6 seasons with Glossop North End
); and the Netherlands then played Sweden
for the bronze medal, winning 2–0, as a result of which the Dutch gained their first international success.
Chadwick managed the Dutch national team for 24 games (generally friendlies against Belgium) winning 14. Gradually, the performances improved during his period as manager. In 1909 they met the England amateur side
and were defeated 9–1 (with 6 goals from Vivian Woodward
who was an amateur who spent 6 seasons with Chelsea
), but against Belgium, Germany
and Sweden
good results were obtained.
During the 1912 Summer Olympics
held in Stockholm
(where eleven teams participated in the football tournament, against only six in 1908) the Dutch defeated Sweden
and Austria
, but lost in the semi-final 4–1 to Denmark
. In the play-off for the bronze medal Finland
were crushed 9-0 with Jan Vos
scoring five goals.
The greatest success of Chadwick’s career as Dutch manager came on 24 March 1913, in a friendly against the English amateurs, which resulted in a 2–1 victory. Both Dutch goals came from Huug de Groot
. After the match Vivian Woodward
generously conceded: "The best team won."
Chadwick led the Dutch national team once more, in November 1913, when the English gained their revenge with a 2–1 victory.
He was also the coach of Vitesse and Sparta Rotterdam
, with whom he won the 1915 Netherlands championship.
After World War I
, he returned to Blackburn and reverted to his original trade as a baker. In December 1923, he applied for the manager’s job at Blackpool
, but after being on a short-list of two, he lost out to Frank Buckley
