Harry Kane, Kevin De Bruyne, Virgil Van Dijk, Jordan Henderson. Possibly Casemiro but he'll probably go back to Brazil or Spain even if he doesn't go into coaching.
Give it to lil Rishi Sunak. Likely to be available later this year, and has experience at national level. England would never lose a game simply because he would deny it had ever happened.
I think what a lot of people don't understand about Eddie Howe, is that it takes time for him to work with players to get what he wants out of them. I don't think his football would be best suited for the England job due to how little time he'd actually get to mould the players and their fitness levels. Amazing manager, just more suited to club football🤝🏻
That's why the vast majority of managers are hopeless when it comes to international management. Rossi would be a quality choice but the FA is too old fashioned and is a job for the boys kinda place. It's gonna be Potter or Lampard
@@JimMelonWLyeah as a Man City fan, I worry that Pep wouldn’t be able to get immediate success either. He only finished 3rd in the league and trophyless in his first season at City. And most players (except a few like Haaland or Ruben Dias) take at least one year to get used to City’s system, before succeeding in their second season. So with limited time training with his players in international football, Idk if Pep would have enough time to make the team click.
I've watched several managers and players leave my team for "bigger" jobs and what hurts the most is when they aren't given the love you have for them at their new club, that is inevitable if this happens.
I’d like to put my hat in the ring in my football manager save I’ve won 32 Gibraltar league titles 24 Rock Cups 26 Pepe Reyes cups and a Europa league title 😅
@@bryanmorrison2396 Jesus Christ it's a joke mate. He's not actually suggesting his Football Manager save game serves as qualification for England Manager.
If Pep manages England, i really think it would come home for you guys. Can you imagine Foden actually balling in that team with the other attacking and midfield options you guys have.
EH, I don’t think that’s a given. International football is much different from regular league football, and one of the most important things in International football is the ability to adapt on the fly in match regularly. As great as Pep is, in the past he’s shown his decision-making to counter opponents were lacking sometimes. Not to mention Pep would need more time to have an international side adapt to his tactics and methods.
He was born in London though, so would still qualify to play for the England national team, therefore I personally would consider to include under the English category, even though he is actually Northern Irish as you say lol
Didier Deschamps would never take the England job. I can never see Luis Enrique being enthusiastic about managing the 3 Lions. It would be interesting to see Pep Manage the Dutch or English national team though.
Lol Pep started only 2 English players in the CL final for a reason, he knows they're not talented enough to achieve anything w/out superior foreigners carrying them. Started 6 Spaniards for Barcelona
It should have been Bielsa, as he would have been perfect for England. He has proven track record of improving nations teams which he done with Argentina, Chile and now we see with Uruguay. Bielsa ball with the pool of talent England would have elevated England to a new level and Bielsa is a tactical genius who would react to changes by the opposition, unlike Southgate
@@sirsurnamethefirstofhisnam7986 jingoistic nonsense. I wouldn’t an English manager to win anything because they are the special needs coaches of world football.
@@MrSmith1984 I think you are wrong because Bielsa loved working in England and if England had offered him the role he would have taken it. It just the FA lacked ambition and forward thinking and kept failure Southgate because he was safe.
It won’t happen, but I think Thomas Frank will one day be a very successful international manager, possibly even a trophy winner, and England appointing him would be a great decision if they just so happened to miraculously go down that route.
As a Brentford got to respect him for the most part. What I would say is that he is probably quite similar to Southgate. He is good at getting the best out of his players and creating a good group dynamic, but probably lacks a bit in terms of innovative tactics. Would imagine Frank would invite similar controversy to Southgate, as he is very loyal to players even if the are in bad form (ie Maguire.)
If we win the Euro's, or even if we still look like one of best teams but don't win, then I can't see why Southgate would leave without having one last run at the World Cup. I'm sure he understands the opportunity he has in managing an England squad that could actually realistically win a World Cup.
I am not gonna lie but Guardiola becoming England manager is unthinkable. However, I can propose England to hire Vincenzo Montella as England's new manager. Dude is being viewed with extreme hostilities by fans for losing 1-6 to Austria in an earlier friendly (which raised question over our team for Euro 2024), even though he does not have the ability to address the problems caused by the TFF.
For me, Steve Cooper sounds like a reasonable option. He’s previously worked as a coach in England’s youth teams so he knows most of the current generation. His time at Forest shouldn’t be remembered from the last few months but rather from the rise to the play offs and surviving in the Prem despite the owner buying 30 new players in their first season
not just managing england youth but also winning a trophy with the england youth honestly id take him back at forest but the england job would also be interesting for him too
2 Video Ideas: 1. Has Pep destroyed football? You spoke this briefly during the video about how football has become boring, but since Pep has his teams frequently playing it safe and reducing risk, and many other managers following in his footsteps, could he be blamed for the loss of quality of football? 2. Analysis of Blue Lock. This one may seem quite out of the blue (see what I did there?) but hear me out. Blue Lock is a series about how the Japanese football Federation needs to Japan to improve their National Team. In the hopes of doing this, they create an insane project called “Blue Lock.” This show takes a DRASTICALLY different approach to soccer than what is conventionally accepted.
@@charliemilroy6497born in London, raised in Northern Ireland and played for Northern Ireland youth teams We will have him at Ipswich for another few years thanks. Though managers leaving Ipswich to go to England (Alf Ramsey & Bobby Robson) have done reasonable
@@charliemilroy6497 think his next move will be another club, if we start next season well then he will be even more on established prem teams shortlists
Klopp is the perfect candidate. He's one of the best man managers out there, his style of play suits pretty much every talent in the England squad, he's extremely well respected , his command of English is impeccable. The one criticism of Klopp at club level is that he could get burnt out and his teams could struggle at times. This won't be a problem with a national team job. Having just left Liverpool, he might find his familiarity with English players could also work in his favour. The FA should go all in for him.
Day 3 of asking Alfie to make a video of the 7 greatest sell on clauses in football history, as seen with Abdul Fatawus permanent move to Leicester netting his youth team in Ghana team about 7-8 million Euros
Hey Alfie, could you maybe start uploading some of your long form content as a podcast to spotify for instance? I would love to listen to your videos while on a walk but can't right now. Love the channel!
Guardiola everyday because England have always lacked that tactical mastermind to elevate the players who can think in game and make great subs. Pep has even said he would be open to coaching England, because as Catalonia nationalist he has no interest in coaching Spain. Klopp would be my second choice but I doubt as a proud German he would take England ahead of Germany. And the idiots who say Mourinho just because he is a big name. His style is defensive and relies on good defenders and defensive midfielders and this is England’s weak point, so an attacking coach is better suited to the players England has because that is England’s strength.
Why would Klopp as a German not take the England job? Nagelsmann just extended his contract with Germany so the job won't be available any time soon anyway
@@Delboy0 Well I would have said no, and stay on the field. He did the same thing in 2022 against Madrid; took off De Bruyne with 20 minutes left and 1-0 up; lost the game 3-1. I don't care if the players say they're tired; they have to stay on in such a high stakes match. It's bad management.
Rob Edwards is not outside the realm of possibility. Yes, he'll probably be relegated, but remember everyone was predicting Luton to have a historically bad season, Derby County 07/08/Aston Villa 2015/16 levels, but they haven't, the mood around the club seems to be pretty positive, and he's worked well with the squad he's had. He's clearly a talented, PL-standard coach, the FA should consider him.
The FA just want someone to massage egos and connect with the players on a personal level; they want a yes-man who will be given players to work with and be told who will play in what games. That's the reason why Southgate has lasted so long, he's done a fine job creating team harmony but the sheer ability of England's current crop is why we've done so well, not because of any kind of tactical or strategic vision from the manager. Why else would we leave out our most creative players in most games? Or why else would we set up each game so cautiously and defensively, the same way we did during the 'golden generation' years? No England manager would ever be allowed to drop players who are out of form or not compatible with a particular set-up - Joachim Low dropped World Cup winners from his squad after they were poor in 2018, imagine the uproar if Southgate dared do anything like that. The fact that embarrassing dross like Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard etc are 'in contention' shows the FA just want a babysitter for whatever squad they put together; what they don't want is a strong-willed manager who tries to implement their own vision (I.e. a Fabio Capello)
Southgate has done a tremendous job & anyone who thinks differently has a shocking memory. We used to have a future England manager, Liam Rosenior. Sad times 🤤
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 633) I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored. If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
Well, England is like Thailand, always waste their potential with absurdities inside. It's scary if you remember that Thai club football successes in Asia modelled much from their English counterparts. Strangely enough, I am also asking for a video about Thailand as well. A country where football is immensely popular, with one of the richest football leagues in Asia, and Thai clubs among some of the wealthiest in Asia as well, but unable to live up to expectation.
I think people don't realise how different tournament management is to league football Gareth Southgate can be quite reductionist but that works in international football
Guardiola has built his entire career on big money signings + working with players of with the highest level of technical skill. Two criteria which in effect disqualify him for the England job. And for the first criterion, probably rules him out of international coaching jobs - maybe he might consider Brazil or Spain. But those jobs pay far less than club football management.
Can I just point out Gareth Southgate only managed one club and finished 12th, 13th & 19th (in the premier League) before getting sacked so those at the start of the list with little experience fit the same mold
Huh, this is crazier than how my birth country Iran chooses managers. Unlike England though, since Iran is run by Islamists, they messed up with bizarre selection and no strategy inside. Remember that Iran was successful under various managers like Branko Ivankovic and Dragan Skocic, only for the Iranian federation to sack and replace with inept jerks or temporary fixers. Heck I am still waiting for a video about Iranian football given how Iran becomes such a wasted potential as Iran found more in common with England.
I think Pep will go to Italy for club or country. He played there and speaks fantastic Italian. It’s a country he hasn’t conquered too, and would be a more different challenge than PSG which is similar to what he did at City
Considering Mourinho, I have to say that, considering the number of games international players have to play, a national team manager who plays a more economical football might be a good choice for a tournament like the World Cup and the Euros. It might not be pretty, but results might just happen.
As a Portsmouth fan, I'm very happy for Gary O'Neil. When he played for us, he was England under 21 captain, so he was recognised as a leader from an early age. It's a shame he never got an England cap but he was playing during a competitive time.
England is beneath Pep, but he'd be the one who could take a genuine golden generation that should be seriously contenders for winning these tournaments. Southgate manages England like they're a test cricket team and has found a way to get our best generation of players to fold at the first sign of resistance.
I think it's a bit sad that Dyche has never been offered a chance to manage a club who don't have to defend for their lives and scrape every point. Mourinho is every bit as pragmatic a coach but he's Portuguese so it's cool. Kompany got Burnley relegated and got the job at Bayern. Dyche got them into Europe ffs.
Dyche is a top football coach who's disrespected because he's not trendy enough. His face doesn't fit basically. Anyone else achieves what he has with the teams and budgets he's had then bigger clubs and national teams would be clamouring to get him on board...
People always suggest top foreign coaches who are also often at the top of the club game for England manager. Would they really leave that for the hassle that comes with England? Surely not?
If i was the English FA this would be my mangar target list: Tuchel Sean Dyche Marco Rossi Gary O'Neill Eddie Howe Pep Guardiola Pep and Eddie are low because of their contract situations
Southgate hasn't won anything but gets continuously praised for under-performing in multiple competitions because his predecessors were much worse. That doesn't make him good at the job, just less awful for the extremely low bar a lot have for the England team now.
Graham Potter has already been unofficially offered the job by the FA. Southgate and the FA will end his contract early and Potter will be in place for the Nations League match against Ireland in September.
@@F1Krazy haha! The funny thing is that a friend of mine does actually work for the FA albeit in a lower level admin job and it he told me it was an “open secret” that Potter was basically already lined up. Either that’s changed or he’s full of it. I’ve just dropped him a message so I’ll let you know what he says. In any case I think I’ll refrain from passing on what he tells me in the future. 😂
@@youtuber6193 Glad you're taking this in such good spirits! In your friend's defence, Lee Carsley's only been appointed on a temporary basis so it's still possible Potter gets the job at some point down the line.
He’s been great at stamping out press negativity and protecting the squad from unnecessary pressure. However tactically he’s inept and unlikely to win anything despite one of the best squads we’ve had in years
Would it be that much of a surprise if Mourinho did the job part time for 2 years and won us a World Cup?? It would be hard not to put money on him tbh.
I think Eddie Howe would be the best England manager out of the lot of them. I don't really fancy Pep's style of play and I think Eddie howe being that Newcastle manager that got a bunch of these players on the plan this season, working incredibly well with younger talent and also being a very attack minded coach with this world class attack force of players we do have works so much in our favour, we'll outscore the other team simply
Paulo Bento,José Mourinho, Joachim Löw,Hansi Flick,Herve Rénnard and David Moyes best candidates for England but not all of them might worked for England but this is for other countries that relied on development and counter attack.
How are defensive coaches going to work for England when their weakness is defenders and defensive midfielders? Bielsa, Klopp and Guardiola are far better suited to players England has and is producing. England has attacking create and fast players by the bucket load, England need attacking football specialists to elevate the team to a new level and have the tactical intelligence to adapt during the game and that will take England to level of being favourites who can actually beat big teams.
Joachim Loew is only good at inheriting, he struggles with new ideas. Herve Renard is a complex one, as his willingness to stay coach of France women's is questionable. David Moyes is not suitable. Paulo Bento is overrated. Maybe Mourinho for God sake.
Dyche is a top manager. Not sure he has the experience with the highest profile players, but… he has been around the premier league for a long time and will know most of the top players well.
@@johnferguson4869 shame that he's not glamorous enough for a lot of fans, clubs and international teams to take seriously... Any other manager would've been given a chance given what he's done - look at Potter, Howe, Pochettino etc.
The Spanish journalist Guillem Balague who is a close person friend of Pep Guardiola And wrote his biography, was on American TV saying not only does Peo want to coach a national team after Man City, England is his first choice because he knows all the players in the country and sees they have the players to win trophies, but not coached well. Balague his friend said he wants to coach England, I believe him. The problem is with the English FA is brave enough to hire him because the cowards wanted to extend Southgate’s contract again.
@@Delboy0 Ancelotti was offered to become Brazil coach and he came so close to become Brazil manager. In the end he ditched Brazil to stay with Real Madrid. Is Guardiola interested in such a prospect for a national team always underachieved like England? The fact that he has coached only clubs with big reputations and hunger for successes show that England is not even close for him.
@@luishernandezblonde if you to UA-cam type Guillem balague England manager, you will see a video of him a close personal friend of Guardiola confirming he wants to be a national team coach and England is one of his choices because he knows all the players, knows they are good enough to play his system and knows England are so poorly coached by Southgate he could win something with England if they were coached right.
Great video, I think your spot and and enjoyed your left-field suggestions too. The old adage of making sure you have "some one better lined up" has never been more appropriate, I think people do forget just how bad the England set up was before him, and the complete change in the attitude towards England from players and fans alike, has in many ways occurred thanks to a mature and carefully thought out stewardship under Gareth. Yes sometimes we all crave more gung-ho football but to be honest its actually very rare gung-ho football wins international trophies. Italy, Spain, Germany, Argentina France have all won world cups and not actually been gung-ho, Brazil get a reputation for silky skills but anyone that saw US 1994 saw a very gritty team and then in 2002 with a ridiculously talented team they averaged 1.9 goals if you exclude the two routs of Costa Rica and China, so hardly gung-ho. Whether fans like it or not, modern international football is about control of the ball and pulling other teams out of shape, or else its about losing as the other team does exactly that to you.
finally someone else giving dyche the credit he deserves! i do feel though that his style of play would stop the fa from taking him. i still lowkey think dyche should take his steady hands to united to get them back on track. dyche knows how to clean up a mess and i’m sure he could bring at least minor success to united
In terms of the context of international football, and dealing only with names that are currently unemployed, here are my picks for England: 1) Graham Potter: obviously. English, moderate success, and he may emulate Roberto Martinez (underachieved in the EPL, seemingly got his mojo in international football) 2) Ole Gunnar Solksjaer: Same with Potter and Martinez, his strengths maybe in international football. And with England's current pool of players, he has a couple of young hungry studs to work with, which is the type of player he found success with at Man United 3) Jurgen Klopp: if they can somehow convince Klopp, he IS the perfect choice right now. I think gegenpressing would be a nightmare with the young players of England right now. Only question is, will clubs allow their players to play in such a taxing system instead of recovering for their individual pushes in the league and Europe
Alfie, An excellent video as always. You should do a follow up video on the FAI and add in Irish football. The FAI and the national team is even worse than you could imagine. Cant get a manager, CEO scandal and resignation, drop in rankings, divided fanbase on style of play and still no manager. You would enjoy but be horried. We have England in Nations league. The League of Ireland is flourishing in terms of attendances and recently went professional. All this is without any FAI/government support.
Klopp can actually not get the German national team job basically at any time he wants right now, because the DFB just extended Nagelsmann's contract until 2026. Nagelsmann took the contract extension over going back to Bayern Munich and it's highly unlikely that he will leave prematurely or get fired from the DFB now, unless they brutally crash and burn in the upcoming months.
I would like to put myself down for the job, I've done irl coaching for 5 months, won multiple Champions Leagues, Premier Leagues and other trophies on FM.
For me, it has to be Howe. Now maybe its just me, but I firmly stand on that we should try keep it British. Just something about being a huge football nation to me just would be embarrassing having to go for an import, just breaks the spirit of it. Also whenever I hear people talk about the England job, there are some things people just do not even account for which baffles me. 1. Doing well with a shoestring budget is impressive however how does that even apply to international football? Especially our squad is not in a situation of "we will work with what we got". The talent and depth is amongst the best there is. You have to focus on, how do they manage and unlock star power. No point in giving Dyche Phil Foden if he gets as much of a tune out of him as Southgates does. Its just a complete different skill set. 2. For me, when you are talking about next england manager, the performances in the cups (Europe, FA, EFL etc) needs to have WAYYYYY more weight in the considerations. Everyone knows tournament football is different to league football. This is where Howe separates himself from your Potters and Dyches. Howe has taken Newcastle to a EFL Cup final, Bournemouth to numerous QF's. Yes Champions League he flopped with that PSG game being the only positive, Howe-ver still think Howes cup pedigree is just stronger and HAS to be England manager ASAP www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eddie-howe/leistungsdatenPokaleNational/trainer/10976
Pochettino is my #1 choice. He’s had a proven record with young and English players, would get the best out of those who’ve got more to give like Gallagher, and our best like Kane, and he’d play the kind of aggressive, fast football and dynamic formation we’d want. He’s perfect.
FUTURE EPISODE SUGGESTION: players who would have gained more caps but for a superstar. Or has this 1 been done? As an Evertonian, Leyton Baines would have gained many more caps had he not been born similar time to Ashley Cole. He has the most assists in the Premiership for a defender: in a Mpyes team (not the most expansive of coaches). In Wright being in Shearer's era would be another example. As for foreign teams: who cares? Luckily Alfie does and could come up with an interesting list
I know records are made to be broken, but I've always leaned towards wanting English managers due to the fact that in 22 world cups, no winners have had a manager from another country. That said, if that record is to be broken, Pep feels like a fitting candidate
Southgate is a f.a yes man , If your out of form not playing but represent a big team you still get selected . Play people in form and regardless if they are playing for a top 6 English clubs But i don't watch the national side they bore me to sleep
Ever really understood why peole were so down on southgate. The team improved drastically when he came in and has kept improving. Its not just squad strength because weve had world class squads forever, i think he is just a very good manager.
Alfie! You must do a video on the collapse of 777 Partners! Accused of fraud, class actions, alleged ponzi scheme, players not playing at Standard Liege, Vasco da Gama being taken over by Brazilian courts, loans to Everton, airline going bust, board members being removed / stepping down, etc etc. What a brilliant video this would be!!
If I had to list a top 5: 1. Poch 2. Potter 3. Carsley 4. McKenna (would prefer him as one after next, Carrick an interesting shout for that too provided he gets top flight experience) 5. Guardiola (unrealistic)
You forgot to add Michael Carrick as potential successor, however like Kieran McKenna still think he needs more time at Boro, plus don’t think he will leave his current club now as he’s trying to bring the club back to Premier League.
Hi HITC 7, I hear pundits and podcasters saying all the time that England has the team with the best players on paper, but I doubt it tbh. Could you do a European best 7 on each position currently, please? I mean if we start with the GK position, I don't believe Pickford makes the top 7 of Europe. At the RB, there could be 2 England players, at CB 1, and at LB 1. LW none, CM : 2, RW : 1, CF : 1 But none of them would be taking the spot as the best or first choice except for the RB maybe, although I believe Carvajal should take the spot of best RB currently. When we look at CB : the French and Dutch CB would take all 7 spots probably.
Mourinho! have you ever seen Mourinho teams play? He plays defensive football and relies on defenders and defensive midfielders win games. This is England’s big weakness. His style and tactics is not suited to the players England has. England need a great tactical mind who plays the attacking football that elevates the the attacking strength of England and gives them the tactical sophistication so you don’t get the slow tactical reaction that cost England against France, Italy and Croatia with Southgate. Bielsa would have been my first choice because he has a proven track record of improving national teams and his Bielsa ball is perfect for England when we have so many fast creative players, but we blew it and now he is with Uruguay and they are now the best team in South America. So I think only Guardiola, who has said he is interested in coaching England and Klopp can get England playing to their full potential.
@@Delboy0 England is an overrated team and their players have emotional issues. They look shiny on profiles but not on the field. Mourinho may have been a perfect solution. Bielsa would have turned England into a team of craziness while Guardiolia has stated clear he won't coach England.
Are you sure Carlo Ancelotti will be a solution? Don Carlo has ditched even mighty Brazil for the job, and that Italian has shown a resentment about working for national team jobs. He will be pissed if England tries to invite him.
@@luishernandezblonde stop this anti-English nonsense. England are not overrated when they are ranked 3rd in the world.

EH, I don’t think that’s a given.

@@senorpython2262 isn't Allegri leaving? Zidane may be on his way to Italy then
Lol Pep started only 2 English players in the CL final for a reason, he knows they're not talented enough to achieve anything w/out superior foreigners carrying them. Started 6 Spaniards for Barcelona
The continuous Freddy Adu bit is so so funny I wait for it every time
It should have been Bielsa, as he would have been perfect for England. He has proven track record of improving nations teams which he done with Argentina, Chile and now we see with Uruguay. Bielsa ball with the pool of talent England would have elevated England to a new level and Bielsa is a tactical genius who would react to changes by the opposition, unlike Southgate
Great manager but I wouldn’t trust an Argentinian to actually try and win with England, especially if we play Argentina in a World Cup
@@sirsurnamethefirstofhisnam7986 jingoistic nonsense. I wouldn’t an English manager to win anything because they are the special needs coaches of world football.
As an Argentine I think it would be hilarious to see one of our own manage you guys
He would be a great choice, alas I don't believe he would ever be interested in managing the Three Lions.
@@MrSmith1984 I think you are wrong because Bielsa loved working in England and if England had offered him the role he would have taken it. It just the FA lacked ambition and forward thinking and kept failure Southgate because he was safe.
Also worth pointing that, whilst I'm not a fan of his, Howe is also managing the never explicitly mentioned but always present threat of bonesaws.
How are you not a fan of his? Literally like saying you don’t rate Kane.
It won’t happen, but I think Thomas Frank will one day be a very successful international manager, possibly even a trophy winner, and England appointing him would be a great decision if they just so happened to miraculously go down that route.
Good shout
it did happen in one of my FM saves lmao
As a Brentford got to respect him for the most part. What I would say is that he is probably quite similar to Southgate. He is good at getting the best out of his players and creating a good group dynamic, but probably lacks a bit in terms of innovative tactics. Would imagine Frank would invite similar controversy to Southgate, as he is very loyal to players even if the are in bad form (ie Maguire.)
You should Look up the meaning of the words won‘t and will.
@@quizzical2023 I meant that I understand he won’t get the England job, but he will become a great international manager
Liam Rosenior is looking for a new job 🐯🐯🐯
Wayne & Liam super rams dream team!
Plymouth is looking for a new manager and he has Devon connections
Assistant for Pep so he can learn from him and then come back to us 🐯
If we win the Euro's, or even if we still look like one of best teams but don't win, then I can't see why Southgate would leave without having one last run at the World Cup. I'm sure he understands the opportunity he has in managing an England squad that could actually realistically win a World Cup.
Pressure got too much for him. He’s a quiet, humble guy, I don’t think he was prepared for the scrutiny he faced.
I am not gonna lie but Guardiola becoming England manager is unthinkable. However, I can propose England to hire Vincenzo Montella as England's new manager. Dude is being viewed with extreme hostilities by fans for losing 1-6 to Austria in an earlier friendly (which raised question over our team for Euro 2024), even though he does not have the ability to address the problems caused by the TFF.
For me, Steve Cooper sounds like a reasonable option. He’s previously worked as a coach in England’s youth teams so he knows most of the current generation. His time at Forest shouldn’t be remembered from the last few months but rather from the rise to the play offs and surviving in the Prem despite the owner buying 30 new players in their first season
yeah he is but I think that the point is that many people would find his CV unimpressive so that'd be pointed at whenever he doesn't do well.
not just managing england youth but also winning a trophy with the england youth
honestly id take him back at forest but the england job would also be interesting for him too
@@maciejbala477 Southgate’s CV was even less impressing when he started

2 Video Ideas:
1. Has Pep destroyed football?
You spoke this briefly during the video about how football has become boring, but since Pep has his teams frequently playing it safe and reducing risk, and many other managers following in his footsteps, could he be blamed for the loss of quality of football?
2. Analysis of Blue Lock. This one may seem quite out of the blue (see what I did there?) but hear me out. Blue Lock is a series about how the Japanese football Federation needs to Japan to improve their National Team. In the hopes of doing this, they create an insane project called “Blue Lock.” This show takes a DRASTICALLY different approach to soccer than what is conventionally accepted.
Kieran McKenna is from N Ireland.

@@charliemilroy6497 If you asked him if he was an Englishman, I think he would say no...
Klopp is the perfect candidate. He's one of the best man managers out there, his style of play suits pretty much every talent in the England squad, he's extremely well respected , his command of English is impeccable. The one criticism of Klopp at club level is that he could get burnt out and his teams could struggle at times. This won't be a problem with a national team job. Having just left Liverpool, he might find his familiarity with English players could also work in his favour. The FA should go all in for him.
A German an Argentine or a Scot will never manage England.... absolutely unthinkable

WERE GETTING PEP. Thanks for this unexpected dose of Copium today.
I can't imagine Pep managing a team he doesn't get to coach week by week, or make his own signings
Technically you do your own signings, but instead of buying them you have to see if they fit the requirements to represent the country
Guardiola everyday because England have always lacked that tactical mastermind to elevate the players who can think in game and make great subs. Pep has even said he would be open to coaching England, because as Catalonia nationalist he has no interest in coaching Spain. Klopp would be my second choice but I doubt as a proud German he would take England ahead of Germany. And the idiots who say Mourinho just because he is a big name. His style is defensive and relies on good defenders and defensive midfielders and this is England’s weak point, so an attacking coach is better suited to the players England has because that is England’s strength.
Making great subs like taking off De Bruyne and Haaland before a penalty shoot out?
@@dj71162 the players asked to be substituted because they had no more energy. So he was forced to make that substitution. How do you not know that?
Why would Klopp as a German not take the England job? Nagelsmann just extended his contract with Germany so the job won't be available any time soon anyway
@@Delboy0 Well I would have said no, and stay on the field. He did the same thing in 2022 against Madrid; took off De Bruyne with 20 minutes left and 1-0 up; lost the game 3-1. I don't care if the players say they're tired; they have to stay on in such a high stakes match. It's bad management.
what do you mean, we have 97 right backs
Pep is a remarkable man. I would LOVE him in the England position.
Rob Edwards is not outside the realm of possibility. Yes, he'll probably be relegated, but remember everyone was predicting Luton to have a historically bad season, Derby County 07/08/Aston Villa 2015/16 levels, but they haven't, the mood around the club seems to be pretty positive, and he's worked well with the squad he's had. He's clearly a talented, PL-standard coach, the FA should consider him.
The FA just want someone to massage egos and connect with the players on a personal level; they want a yes-man who will be given players to work with and be told who will play in what games. That's the reason why Southgate has lasted so long, he's done a fine job creating team harmony but the sheer ability of England's current crop is why we've done so well, not because of any kind of tactical or strategic vision from the manager. Why else would we leave out our most creative players in most games? Or why else would we set up each game so cautiously and defensively, the same way we did during the 'golden generation' years?
No England manager would ever be allowed to drop players who are out of form or not compatible with a particular set-up - Joachim Low dropped World Cup winners from his squad after they were poor in 2018, imagine the uproar if Southgate dared do anything like that.
The fact that embarrassing dross like Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard etc are 'in contention' shows the FA just want a babysitter for whatever squad they put together; what they don't want is a strong-willed manager who tries to implement their own vision (I.e. a Fabio Capello)
Southgate has done a tremendous job & anyone who thinks differently has a shocking memory.
We used to have a future England manager, Liam Rosenior. Sad times 🤤
Great vid as always Alfie, Stockport County could be an even greater vid?

Well, England is like Thailand, always waste their potential with absurdities inside. It's scary if you remember that Thai club football successes in Asia modelled much from their English counterparts.
Strangely enough, I am also asking for a video about Thailand as well. A country where football is immensely popular, with one of the richest football leagues in Asia, and Thai clubs among some of the wealthiest in Asia as well, but unable to live up to expectation.
I think people don't realise how different tournament management is to league football
Gareth Southgate can be quite reductionist but that works in international football
Guardiola has built his entire career on big money signings + working with players of with the highest level of technical skill. Two criteria which in effect disqualify him for the England job. And for the first criterion, probably rules him out of international coaching jobs - maybe he might consider Brazil or Spain. But those jobs pay far less than club football management.
Pep has managed billionaire clubs and the richest in there leagues , that won't translate in club football
The media like Southgate and he has a whole West End play dedicated to him so he's appreciated enough
19:11 to be fair, Tarkowski has been excellent for Everton and probably should be considered for the England squad.
Can I just point out Gareth Southgate only managed one club and finished 12th, 13th & 19th (in the premier League) before getting sacked so those at the start of the list with little experience fit the same mold
Fact is we are England, we should be hiring a British manager.
Facts
Huh, this is crazier than how my birth country Iran chooses managers. Unlike England though, since Iran is run by Islamists, they messed up with bizarre selection and no strategy inside. Remember that Iran was successful under various managers like Branko Ivankovic and Dragan Skocic, only for the Iranian federation to sack and replace with inept jerks or temporary fixers. Heck I am still waiting for a video about Iranian football given how Iran becomes such a wasted potential as Iran found more in common with England.
No one cares mate.
@@telewag-travelNah man,you just invalidate yourself by commenting in his commect section
A door that's just been painted would make a great replacement for Gareth.
I think Pep will go to Italy for club or country. He played there and speaks fantastic Italian. It’s a country he hasn’t conquered too, and would be a more different challenge than PSG which is similar to what he did at City
My issue with Southgate is he often plays not to loose, rather than to win.
Safe, dull team selection.
Considering Mourinho, I have to say that, considering the number of games international players have to play, a national team manager who plays a more economical football might be a good choice for a tournament like the World Cup and the Euros. It might not be pretty, but results might just happen.
WE. NEED. PEP.
The only national team Pep would ever manage is the Catalán national team if there was one 😅
It's an unofficial one
As a Portsmouth fan, I'm very happy for Gary O'Neil. When he played for us, he was England under 21 captain, so he was recognised as a leader from an early age. It's a shame he never got an England cap but he was playing during a competitive time.
England is beneath Pep, but he'd be the one who could take a genuine golden generation that should be seriously contenders for winning these tournaments. Southgate manages England like they're a test cricket team and has found a way to get our best generation of players to fold at the first sign of resistance.
Maybe England should hire South Americans like Marcelo Bielsa or Ricardo Gareca as coach since they have the ability to nurture and improvise talents.
There's a lot better choices that are either prem managers or ex prem managers. Steve Cooper ect ect
I think it's a bit sad that Dyche has never been offered a chance to manage a club who don't have to defend for their lives and scrape every point. Mourinho is every bit as pragmatic a coach but he's Portuguese so it's cool. Kompany got Burnley relegated and got the job at Bayern. Dyche got them into Europe ffs.
Dyche is a top football coach who's disrespected because he's not trendy enough. His face doesn't fit basically. Anyone else achieves what he has with the teams and budgets he's had then bigger clubs and national teams would be clamouring to get him on board...
People always suggest top foreign coaches who are also often at the top of the club game for England manager. Would they really leave that for the hassle that comes with England? Surely not?
If i was the English FA this would be my mangar target list:
Tuchel
Sean Dyche
Marco Rossi
Gary O'Neill
Eddie Howe
Pep Guardiola
Pep and Eddie are low because of their contract situations
Southgate hasn't won anything but gets continuously praised for under-performing in multiple competitions because his predecessors were much worse. That doesn't make him good at the job, just less awful for the extremely low bar a lot have for the England team now.
Graham Potter has already been unofficially offered the job by the FA.
Southgate and the FA will end his contract early and Potter will be in place for the Nations League match against Ireland in September.
Source: dude trust me
@@F1Krazy yeah but when it plays out like that just remember me.
@@youtuber6193 I remembered. Whoever your source was, you might want to have a word with them...
@@F1Krazy haha! The funny thing is that a friend of mine does actually work for the FA albeit in a lower level admin job and it he told me it was an “open secret” that Potter was basically already lined up.
Either that’s changed or he’s full of it.
I’ve just dropped him a message so I’ll let you know what he says. In any case I think I’ll refrain from passing on what he tells me in the future. 😂
@@youtuber6193 Glad you're taking this in such good spirits! In your friend's defence, Lee Carsley's only been appointed on a temporary basis so it's still possible Potter gets the job at some point down the line.
He’s been great at stamping out press negativity and protecting the squad from unnecessary pressure. However tactically he’s inept and unlikely to win anything despite one of the best squads we’ve had in years
Would it be that much of a surprise if Mourinho did the job part time for 2 years and won us a World Cup??
It would be hard not to put money on him tbh.
As a Netherlands fan, I would love to see pep in the seat of the national team. Maybe then, we can win a world cup 🫣🫣🫣
I think Eddie Howe would be the best England manager out of the lot of them. I don't really fancy Pep's style of play and I think Eddie howe being that Newcastle manager that got a bunch of these players on the plan this season, working incredibly well with younger talent and also being a very attack minded coach with this world class attack force of players we do have works so much in our favour, we'll outscore the other team simply
Como have risen from Serie D to Serie A in six seasons, you should make a 'rise of' about them. Love the content!
Paulo Bento,José Mourinho, Joachim Löw,Hansi Flick,Herve Rénnard and David Moyes best candidates for England but not all of them might worked for England but this is for other countries that relied on development and counter attack.
How are defensive coaches going to work for England when their weakness is defenders and defensive midfielders? Bielsa, Klopp and Guardiola are far better suited to players England has and is producing. England has attacking create and fast players by the bucket load, England need attacking football specialists to elevate the team to a new level and have the tactical intelligence to adapt during the game and that will take England to level of being favourites who can actually beat big teams.
Joachim Loew is only good at inheriting, he struggles with new ideas. Herve Renard is a complex one, as his willingness to stay coach of France women's is questionable. David Moyes is not suitable. Paulo Bento is overrated. Maybe Mourinho for God sake.
At 21:33 you said Kieran McKenna is ‘the most promising young English coach’, which isn’t true he is Northern Irish. Sorry for being a stickler
I've been saying for a while that we should give Dyche a go... Everyone laughs but it's definitely my shout😂
Dyche is a top manager. Not sure he has the experience with the highest profile players, but… he has been around the premier league for a long time and will know most of the top players well.
@@johnferguson4869 shame that he's not glamorous enough for a lot of fans, clubs and international teams to take seriously... Any other manager would've been given a chance given what he's done - look at Potter, Howe, Pochettino etc.
😂 no ambition
Guardiola isn't even interested in England job. He wants a job in Italy instead. Maybe England should hire Rudi Garcia or Unai Emery.
No chance of getting pep but Emery would do a great job!
The Spanish journalist Guillem Balague who is a close person friend of Pep Guardiola And wrote his biography, was on American TV saying not only does Peo want to coach a national team after Man City, England is his first choice because he knows all the players in the country and sees they have the players to win trophies, but not coached well. Balague his friend said he wants to coach England, I believe him. The problem is with the English FA is brave enough to hire him because the cowards wanted to extend Southgate’s contract again.
@@Delboy0 Ancelotti was offered to become Brazil coach and he came so close to become Brazil manager. In the end he ditched Brazil to stay with Real Madrid. Is Guardiola interested in such a prospect for a national team always underachieved like England? The fact that he has coached only clubs with big reputations and hunger for successes show that England is not even close for him.
@@luishernandezblonde if you to UA-cam type Guillem balague England manager, you will see a video of him a close personal friend of Guardiola confirming he wants to be a national team coach and England is one of his choices because he knows all the players, knows they are good enough to play his system and knows England are so poorly coached by Southgate he could win something with England if they were coached right.
Great video, I think your spot and and enjoyed your left-field suggestions too. The old adage of making sure you have "some one better lined up" has never been more appropriate, I think people do forget just how bad the England set up was before him, and the complete change in the attitude towards England from players and fans alike, has in many ways occurred thanks to a mature and carefully thought out stewardship under Gareth. Yes sometimes we all crave more gung-ho football but to be honest its actually very rare gung-ho football wins international trophies. Italy, Spain, Germany, Argentina France have all won world cups and not actually been gung-ho, Brazil get a reputation for silky skills but anyone that saw US 1994 saw a very gritty team and then in 2002 with a ridiculously talented team they averaged 1.9 goals if you exclude the two routs of Costa Rica and China, so hardly gung-ho. Whether fans like it or not, modern international football is about control of the ball and pulling other teams out of shape, or else its about losing as the other team does exactly that to you.
Southgate gets a hard time from critics because with this kind of talent at his disposal, a competent manager would have won.
finally someone else giving dyche the credit he deserves! i do feel though that his style of play would stop the fa from taking him. i still lowkey think dyche should take his steady hands to united to get them back on track. dyche knows how to clean up a mess and i’m sure he could bring at least minor success to united
In terms of the context of international football, and dealing only with names that are currently unemployed, here are my picks for England:
1) Graham Potter: obviously. English, moderate success, and he may emulate Roberto Martinez (underachieved in the EPL, seemingly got his mojo in international football)
2) Ole Gunnar Solksjaer: Same with Potter and Martinez, his strengths maybe in international football. And with England's current pool of players, he has a couple of young hungry studs to work with, which is the type of player he found success with at Man United
3) Jurgen Klopp: if they can somehow convince Klopp, he IS the perfect choice right now. I think gegenpressing would be a nightmare with the young players of England right now. Only question is, will clubs allow their players to play in such a taxing system instead of recovering for their individual pushes in the league and Europe
how would Pep ever survive without a billion pound transfer budget though?
My third nipple isn't the best player ever
but could pick a better team than Southgate!🏴
Alfie,
An excellent video as always.
You should do a follow up video on the FAI and add in Irish football.
The FAI and the national team is even worse than you could imagine. Cant get a manager, CEO scandal and resignation, drop in rankings, divided fanbase on style of play and still no manager. You would enjoy but be horried. We have England in Nations league.
The League of Ireland is flourishing in terms of attendances and recently went professional. All this is without any FAI/government support.
Never stop doing these kinds of videos. Thank you
Klopp can actually not get the German national team job basically at any time he wants right now, because the DFB just extended Nagelsmann's contract until 2026. Nagelsmann took the contract extension over going back to Bayern Munich and it's highly unlikely that he will leave prematurely or get fired from the DFB now, unless they brutally crash and burn in the upcoming months.
I would like to put myself down for the job, I've done irl coaching for 5 months, won multiple Champions Leagues, Premier Leagues and other trophies on FM.
Klinsman + Kane show: Let's see if two bad omens can make one good voodoo.
For me, it has to be Howe. Now maybe its just me, but I firmly stand on that we should try keep it British. Just something about being a huge football nation to me just would be embarrassing having to go for an import, just breaks the spirit of it.
Also whenever I hear people talk about the England job, there are some things people just do not even account for which baffles me.
1. Doing well with a shoestring budget is impressive however how does that even apply to international football? Especially our squad is not in a situation of "we will work with what we got". The talent and depth is amongst the best there is. You have to focus on, how do they manage and unlock star power. No point in giving Dyche Phil Foden if he gets as much of a tune out of him as Southgates does. Its just a complete different skill set.
2. For me, when you are talking about next england manager, the performances in the cups (Europe, FA, EFL etc) needs to have WAYYYYY more weight in the considerations. Everyone knows tournament football is different to league football. This is where Howe separates himself from your Potters and Dyches. Howe has taken Newcastle to a EFL Cup final, Bournemouth to numerous QF's. Yes Champions League he flopped with that PSG game being the only positive, Howe-ver still think Howes cup pedigree is just stronger and HAS to be England manager ASAP
www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eddie-howe/leistungsdatenPokaleNational/trainer/10976
Pochettino is my #1 choice. He’s had a proven record with young and English players, would get the best out of those who’ve got more to give like Gallagher, and our best like Kane, and he’d play the kind of aggressive, fast football and dynamic formation we’d want. He’s perfect.
FUTURE EPISODE SUGGESTION: players who would have gained more caps but for a superstar. Or has this 1 been done? As an Evertonian, Leyton Baines would have gained many more caps had he not been born similar time to Ashley Cole. He has the most assists in the Premiership for a defender: in a Mpyes team (not the most expansive of coaches). In Wright being in Shearer's era would be another example. As for foreign teams: who cares? Luckily Alfie does and could come up with an interesting list
I know records are made to be broken, but I've always leaned towards wanting English managers due to the fact that in 22 world cups, no winners have had a manager from another country. That said, if that record is to be broken, Pep feels like a fitting candidate
None of the nine Women's World Cups have been won by teams with a foreign manager either
Or the euros ever. I also personally just think it wouldnt count
@@jamesduffy7549 Otto Rehhagel was Greece coach in 2004.
@@matthewreid2107 shame, I thought they'd won it as Greece
Southgate is a f.a yes man ,
If your out of form not playing but represent a big team you still get selected .
Play people in form and regardless if they are playing for a top 6 English clubs
But i don't watch the national side they bore me to sleep
Ever really understood why peole were so down on southgate. The team improved drastically when he came in and has kept improving. Its not just squad strength because weve had world class squads forever, i think he is just a very good manager.
Any one else here after his resignation?
Instructions unclear; now have £5 bets on every manager in this 7 to become next England manager
Pep has won it all except a World Cup. England would give him an unbelievable chance to achieve that.
Thomas tuchal can be a good choice as a cup manager
As an American, it’s really remarkable how similar the discourse around Berhalter and Southgate is
Alfie! You must do a video on the collapse of 777 Partners! Accused of fraud, class actions, alleged ponzi scheme, players not playing at Standard Liege, Vasco da Gama being taken over by Brazilian courts, loans to Everton, airline going bust, board members being removed / stepping down, etc etc. What a brilliant video this would be!!
If I had to list a top 5:
1. Poch
2. Potter
3. Carsley
4. McKenna (would prefer him as one after next, Carrick an interesting shout for that too provided he gets top flight experience)
5. Guardiola (unrealistic)
15:55 Newcastle were in a group with AC Milan, PSG and Dortmund
And Dortmund itself were in the Champions League Final.
Dortmund were midtable at the time, ac Milan aren't a strong team, Newcastle flopped
You forgot to add Michael Carrick as potential successor, however like Kieran McKenna still think he needs more time at Boro, plus don’t think he will leave his current club now as he’s trying to bring the club back to Premier League.
Hi HITC 7,
I hear pundits and podcasters saying all the time that England has the team with the best players on paper, but I doubt it tbh.
Could you do a European best 7 on each position currently, please?
I mean if we start with the GK position, I don't believe Pickford makes the top 7 of Europe.
At the RB, there could be 2 England players, at CB 1, and at LB 1.
LW none, CM : 2, RW : 1, CF : 1
But none of them would be taking the spot as the best or first choice except for the RB maybe, although I believe Carvajal should take the spot of best RB currently.
When we look at CB : the French and Dutch CB would take all 7 spots probably.
1:56 Thank you for saying this, the amount of people I see who clearly don't think about this is genuinely terrifying
Sitting back relaxing ready to enjoy another great vid. 🙂👍
Getting rinsed by the UK's crap weather (rain) but at least I can listen to alfie while doing so
Walter Winterbottom sounds like a manager from Hogwarts quidditch team
I want jose Mourinho as England coach.
Or carlo ancelotti.
I think there are those who think Jose will end up at Newcastle. If Eddie gets the England job it could happen.
Mourinho! have you ever seen Mourinho teams play? He plays defensive football and relies on defenders and defensive midfielders win games. This is England’s big weakness. His style and tactics is not suited to the players England has. England need a great tactical mind who plays the attacking football that elevates the the attacking strength of England and gives them the tactical sophistication so you don’t get the slow tactical reaction that cost England against France, Italy and Croatia with Southgate. Bielsa would have been my first choice because he has a proven track record of improving national teams and his Bielsa ball is perfect for England when we have so many fast creative players, but we blew it and now he is with Uruguay and they are now the best team in South America. So I think only Guardiola, who has said he is interested in coaching England and Klopp can get England playing to their full potential.
@@Delboy0 England is an overrated team and their players have emotional issues. They look shiny on profiles but not on the field. Mourinho may have been a perfect solution. Bielsa would have turned England into a team of craziness while Guardiolia has stated clear he won't coach England.
Are you sure Carlo Ancelotti will be a solution? Don Carlo has ditched even mighty Brazil for the job, and that Italian has shown a resentment about working for national team jobs. He will be pissed if England tries to invite him.
@@luishernandezblonde stop this anti-English nonsense. England are not overrated when they are ranked 3rd in the world. Have won 2 youth world cups and 4 youth euros in the last 6 years and have more players under the age of 28 who have won the CL than any other country. The stars of the current CL finalists are English. England just don’t have the quality of coach at the level of the players. And you are lying about guardiola because can send a link to an interview where one of his best friends says he is interested in coaching England.
