Although I agree on ability on Poch and Klopp as I posted above, the stats show only one country has won a trophy with a foreign manager. Greece in the Euros. No one else has done it.

This is surely more a reflection of the fact no major country, other than Portugal, has a foreigner in charge.

Is that because foreign managers can't do it, or because the best teams rarely get foreign managers in?

Serena Wiegman did ok.

I agree with Barney Ronay.

"...the Football Association should go all out to hire Jurgen Klopp. Klopp might not want it. He must surely have competing plans. He is perhaps too big for the job. But he would be absolutely perfect.

Two points lead to this conclusion. The England manager is still the single most culturally and economically important figure in English football. But the English, despite being obsessed with managers, also don’t make managers. There is nobody in domestic football equipped to carry this on. Eleven elite Spanish club coaches had players in the two squads on Sunday, including the dominant tactical figure of the past 25 years. English football was represented by two; Sean Dyche and Eddie Howe, neither of whom have won a major trophy.

And second, what happens now is crucial. There is a suggestion the FA may not be able to afford Klopp on the current budget. Come off it. The England team made between €5m and €8m from reaching this final. Spend it on a proper manager. Get a bespoke sponsor. Get Tesco to pay for it.

Klopp is, like Southgate, a culture builder, a process guy. He has the warmth and charisma to recharge the stage. He’s like Southgate’s cooler, taller, much more successful cousin. But he’s also a proven elite modern coach. Klopp is also Total Premier League, has nurtured English players, has understood and progressed the tactical culture. He might like the hours. There’s no need to live all the time in the country. Let him wear a baseball cap. Make it work.

In return England have a settled culture and good young players. What they need is warmth, fun and energy, plus that degree of coherence and in-game control that has proved to be just out of Southgate’s reach. In many ways Klopp is almost too good. Can you hire rock‑star-Father-Christmas for a role that is essentially the nation’s PE teacher?"

Klopp quit Liverpool because (in my estimation) he's unwell. He lost lots of weight after Christmas. He won't be taking any jobs for a while.

First man on the BBC list is Tommy Tootle. Please no, not Tommy Tootle. He's a pissy, irritable tit.

True, but until Sunday no one else had lost two successive Euro finals. These records are there to be broken!

Out of realistic contenders, Lampard.

As I've said, an international manager gets little time with his players and it's not really coaching to the full. He has to be likeable and able to identify a team that works together. Lampard is a very attacking coach.

In an international context, I think he fits the mold. And he'd be popular with the team as someone who is a respected former England player who has been there and done it.

I wouldn't choose Potter. I see him as more of a club manager.

If its Lampard or Gerrard we'll all be begging for Southgate to come back in no time.

Both great Players, both Crap managers.

Alan Pardew has had more success than Frank Lampard

It's the point I'm making though. It's not the same as club management. And I would take Chelsea off anyone's CV when considering.

Potter out front, who was fired by Chelsea, took us on our longest losing streak and far more importantly, was crap in KO cup competitions!

As I said in another thread, Rooney will be avaiable again in a few months, if it's silly season why not consider him as well?

That is the other side of it. I can't see any of the 'big' winning nations; Spain, France, Germany, etc employing a foreigner. But as England are not in that group I think its acceptable for a 2nd tier nation like us.

You are asking who I want to be next England manager as opposed to who I think it will be.
Who do I want?.. Pep (the best manager out there)
Who do I think it will be?.. Potter

An international manager's job is very different from that of the day-to-day pressures of a Premier League manager of a big club.

2 games against Ireland and Finland in September wouldn't be beyond the current state of his physicality.

i think Klopp woild make a far better England manager than Pep.

Its more than just whose the best tactical coach, the team unity, emotional intelligence, public Ambassadorial role are all huge too, and Klopp is a far more warm and open human being than pep imho and would be much better at that side of the job. Pep is often brittle and short.

It may be that it's generally minor nations that go down the road of a foreign manager, yes.

Preference of course is English manager but nobody obvious about. Klopp available and knows the players and English game backwards. Tempt him in until world cup. If had managed at Euros not saying we would have beaten Spain but win or lose we would have dominated all games up to final.

Not if he has what I suspect he has.
