Great English Managers.
Bit of talk on here about Rooney’s job at Derby. Gerrard and dominating the sack race.
We do have a tendency to overhype English managers, especially if they were great players. Let’s be honest, there aren’t a lot of truly great English managers over the last few years or even decades. Howard Wilkinson the last English manager to win the league, 30 years ago. And he wasn’t great. Who was the last truly GREAT English manager? Brian Clough? How many have we actually produced? It’s not many. Certainly not in the modern era. |

The last truly great English manager: Brian Clough.
Truly great English managers of the modern era: None. Pre-WW2, there not being any European competitions & England not taking part in the first 3 World Cups, you can't really judge managers of that era. Post-WW2 up to the 70's, Bill Nicholson is the only name that springs to mind. Tottenham Hotspur Football League First Division: 1960–61 FA Cup: 1960–61, 1961–62, 1966–67 Football League Cup: 1970–71, 1972–73 FA Charity Shield: 1961, 1962, 1967 (shared) UEFA Cup: 1971–72, runner up: 1973-74 European Cup Winners' Cup: 1962–63 Anglo-Italian League Cup: 1971 |
