About England national football team manager in brief
The role of an England national football team manager was first established in 1946 with the appointment of Walter Winterbottom. Nineteen men have occupied the post since its inception; four of those were in short-term caretaker manager roles. Sven-Göran Eriksson became the first foreign manager of the team in January 2001 amid much acrimony. Italian manager Fabio Capello replaced Steve McClaren in December 2007, after England failed to qualify for Euro 2008. Capello resigned in February 2012, following a disagreement with the FA over their removal of John Terry’s captaincy. Roy Hodgson was named as Capello’s permanent replacement in May 2012. Sam Allardyce was announced as his successor a month later, but subsequently left the role after just one competitive match. The England manager’s job is subject to intense press scrutiny, often including revelations about the incumbent’s private life. The role has been compared in importance in national culture to that of the British Prime Minister. Large sums of money are spent on winning matches and winning tournaments during the country’s World Cup and Euro tournaments. The national team squad, starting team, captain, tactics, substitutes and penalty-takers are all decided by the England manager. The manager has sole responsibility for all on-the-field elements of the England team. Among other activities, this includes selecting the national team Squad, the starting team and captain. For example, in 2008 Fabiocapello appointed four Italians ; he then appointed Englishman Stuart Pearce, the England under-21s coach, as an England coach, with Capello stating that he wanted an English coach as part of his coaching team.
In 2001, the members of the FA panel which appointed Sven-göran Eriksson were: chief executive Adam Crozier, chairman Geoff Thompson, vice-chairman Dave Richards, technical director David Dein and technical director Howard Wilkinson. The FA board members are chief executive Geoff Richards, chairman Dave Thompson, club chairmen and FA chairmen Peter Thompson and David Ridsdale, and club director Peter Wilkinson. In 2006, during the World Cup, England’s flags were festooned with Saint George’s flags; during the 2006 World Cup George’s flag was also flown in Saint Cyril and Saint Augustus. In 2008, the FA appointed Howard Wilkinson as technical director; he was also the technical director of England Under 21s. In 2011, the Football Association appointed Peter Taylor as the England Under-21 Technical Director; he has been in the role since then. In 2012, Stuart Pearce was appointed as the new England Under 21s technical director. In 2013, England under 21 coach and former England international defender Gareth Southgate was made permanent after four matches. In 2014, England coach Stuart Pearce took charge of the Under 21 side for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
