What do you think of British managers who try their luck at the Premier League? Consider some of the names who have managed a premier league side in this season;



From left to right:
Brendan Rodgers (Leicester City), David Moyes (West Ham United), Frank Lampard (Everton & Chelsea), Steven Gerrard (Aston Villa), Dean Smith (Leicester City), Nathan Jones (Southampton), Sam Allardyce (Leeds United), Gary O'Neil (Bournemouth), Graham Potter (Brighton & Hove Albian & Chelsea), Roy Hodgson (Crystal Palace), Steve Cooper (Nottingham Forest), Eddy Howe (Newcastle United).

When you look at many of these faces, many have been sacked midway through the current campaign due to poor results. Few still remain in their posts since the start of the season, and other replacements have come in at the tail end of the season to try and create balance and get good results. Are British managers not cut out for the big leagues as they may have once been in past seasons, and which British manager, if any, will be able to replicate the success and achievements of Sir Alex Ferguson in recent times.

What are your thoughts on this subject?

The main problem is the media hype. The moment we get a British coach break through the media massively overhype them as they are desperate for a world class British manager to ultimately go on and manage the national team. The clubs buy into this and hire people massively underqualified for the post and when they inevitably flop they get sacked and their reputation goes down the toilet.

Eddie Howe managing in the Champions League next season is a massive achievement and he could be the only English manager to have a shot at the title in the next few seasons.

Eddie Howe would probably win something with Newcastle United providing they keep him.

Yeah I guess this is why. There really are a lack of experienced British managers which would get to walk into the biggest jobs in football, and it would be anyone's guess which British manager, if any at all, could take over from Gareth Southgate as England manager someday.

I don’t thinks it’s anything to do with nationality like everything about pro football nowadays they recruit managers from all round the world who are the best so like all big jobs the recruitment base is huge hence less British managers.

(I would also argue Brendan Rodgers is Irish too 😬)!

Plenty of English managers get jobs, the bigger problem is the same average managers get the same jobs around the mid table clubs. There are clearly some very good coaches, but to be a good manager at a too club you probably need to at least be semi-fluent in a different language and have experience of managing in Europe. A lot of the tactical innovation tends to come from foreign managers. Now this might change in the next 10 years as clearly at grassroots we are coaching more technical players.
