Pierce once shared his memories with his son on the British sports radio station 'Talk Sports' in 2020. He said "When my son was eight, we played fantasy football together. At school, every child, teacher enjoyed fantasy football, and in the final round of the league, Harley and the principal played a close game. I remember Harley being one point behind. I called Alex Ferguson (then Manchester United) and asked him pretending he was involved in the England Under-21s. I'm going to watch the game. Who are you going to use Phil Jones for defense or cross-smoking?' asked. Ferguson tipped who he was going to use, and I included him in our fantasy team."
After his retirement, Pierce served as manager of Nottingham, Manchester City, England Under-21s, and England's unified team. At the 2012 London Olympics, they met South Korea in the quarterfinals, led by current South Korean national football team coach Hong Myung-bo, and were eliminated after a penalty shootout.
