He later went on to manage Blackburn between 1926 and 1930, leading them to the FA Cup victory over Huddersfield Town in 1928. Crompton then returned as manager in the late 1930s to guide them to the Second Division championship.

Crompton died in 1941 while still in charge of his hometown club, thus ending a fifty-year association with Rovers.
