[Football] Where & Who are the next great English Coaches

[Chicken Run]

I can’t see any of this lot setting the coaching world on fire anytime soon!

Where - and who - are the next great English coaches? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57244290

I know where one of them is

I had never heard of him until a few weeks before we signed him so I am guessing there are more out there who just need to be given a chance. It seems Johnny Foreigner is the go to for PL clubs though except for struggling clubs looking for a dinosaur Red Adair to save them.

Currently just the four in the PL and except for Smith they have all been part of the relegation battle this season. I may be biased but only one is likely to improve and be in line for a Top Six club....maybe

Potter
Dyche
Smith
Bruce

Depends if they stay as coaches or become managers, very different roles

 

[Stat Brother]

Leyland DAF?

For "English" you're about spot on, though Smith is also decent IMO. But substitute the word "British" and suddenly you've got Rogers and Moyes who have both pulled way above their weight this season. Allow "English" to manage anywhere and Gerrard has restored pride to Rangers, albeit in a shit league.

I suspect the article has focussed on "English" because of the Euros but a really good question would extend it to the Scots. Scotland - in fact just working class Glasgow - produced some of the very best coaches and managers of yesteryear.

Very true actually, Scotland doesn't seem to produce the same quality, or number, of either players or managers, that it once did. It would be interesting to analyse the reasons why.
