International sky blue managers (1 Viewer)

Following on from the Rubbish Managers thread, it reminded me that Strachan and Coleman went on to manage international sides. I wondered which league side had the most managers who had managed or went on to manage international sides. I reckon we've had six which seems quite high. Without googling what do you reckon?

I don't know the answer yet - haven't researched it. I know Ipswich had two England managers and an Irish one but nothing else has popped into my head yet. In a league table of this I reckon we would be quite high. Some statto must have already done this I expect.

Didn't Bobby Gould manage Wales too?

Yes, dismally.

tommydazzle · May 19, 2019

Yep he's one of my 6

Joe Mercer

skybluesam66 · May 19, 2019

surely also Andy Thorn and Russell Slade ? (or maybe not)

tommydazzle · May 19, 2019

And him, although caretaker England manager.

Hmm, managers who went on to manage is a different question!

Don Howe ever manage caretaker stewardship after Robson left?

Only mentioned because you said worse, and he's the worst I can manage!

ovduk78 · May 19, 2019

Didn't Peter Reid manage Thailand or something like that?

Ha ha, agree with that but he wasn't one of my 6. Maybe it's 7 with him, will need to check.

Yes Peter Reid, he's the one.

That's 5 of my 6.

ovduk78 · May 19, 2019

Did Terry Butcher have a go as well?

tommydazzle · May 19, 2019

Bingo! Yes Phillipines manager.

ovduk78 · May 19, 2019

Does Aidy Boothroyd count?

tommydazzle · May 19, 2019

I was only thinking of the senior sides. There maybe more though. Just checked Don Howe and he is a no. So still 6 by my reckoning.

tommydazzle · May 19, 2019

I think even Man have had less than us. Maybe down to longevity of successful club management. Don't think any of their Scots managers went on to international careers? The Dutch guy and Giggs the only ones I can think of.

Tommy Docherty

I Googled to check, and it turns out Frank O'Farrell managed Iran too.

It's the obscure jobs that do it. George Raynor is another CCFC one btw!

According to Wikipedia Frank O'Farrell managed Iran after leaving Man Utd, surprised you'd forgotten that too!!

George Raynor, never would have got him. That's 7!

Eire but before he managed us

tommydazzle · May 19, 2019

Well that counts, so 8.

Irish Sky Blue · May 19, 2019

O’Neil, manager of Northern Ireland

tommydazzle · May 19, 2019

Stewards enquiry on Cantwell. Can't find any reference to him managing the Republic.

You may have made the mistake I made to begin with, looking for city players.

But it's city managers.

Yes, otherwise we could have also had Big Sam

Grendel · May 19, 2019

If you include assistants and under 21 etc it’s a much bigger list
