An entertaining, informative, illustrated guide to every England manager, from Walter Winterbottom to Thomas Tuchel. Most football fans have heard their names, some can recite them in order and list their achievements (or lack thereof), but who are the managers that have risen to the top of the English game? Who led their country to the highest level and who brought some continental flair? Who courted controversy behind the scenes and who saved it for the touchline? Who gave the most underwhelming performance and who incited the most overwhelming public outcry? To put it bluntly, who do we fondly remember and who do we try to forget? In chronological order, renowned sports journalist Tim Spiers delves into the careers of all 21 gaffers (including 'caretakers') who have taken the England hot seat, reminding us of their game plans, gimmicks, quirks and most quotable lines. England Football Managers is the perfect gift for any football fan wanting to delve into the national team's history and discover who changed the way England play, for better and for worse.
