Why no superstars for England manager ?
Posted on May 13th, 2006
What do all these players have in common ?
- Beckenbauer
- Vogts
- Voller
- Klinsman
They are all great german players who went on to coach their national team. The best dutch players, too, seem to make an easy transition to coaching - Cruyff, Gullit, Rijkaard, van Basten.
How come english players don’t do the same ? It seems that you are not qualified to be an England manager until you have coached Swindon, Watford or Oxford.

I don’t know much about football/soccer. I recognized Beckenbauer from that list. But about this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Football_Hall_of_Fame ? Some of the names in the list of managers, sound British.

Sadly, there is very little overlap between : the list of great managers, the list of england managers and the list of managers who were superstars as players.
