General Ex-Manager Thread

[Wandering Yellow]

Seeing as we have an ex-player thread, thought it may be of interest to have an ex-manager thread.

Liam Manning - Bristol City head coach

KR - Salford City manager

Micheal Appleton - Manchester United Loan Manager (Following spells with Lincoln Blackpool and Charlton)

Pep Clotet - Trieste mamager (Serie C)

Chris Wilder - Sheffield United manager

Gary Waddock - Assistant manager at Walsall FC

Darren Patterson - No idea, seemingly moved on from the football industry.

Ramon Diaz - Manager of Corinthians in Brazil, after leaving Saudi Arabia.

Graham Rix - Recently left Fareham Town FC and possibly retired aged 66.

Ian Atkins - Scout for Wolverhampton Wanderers

Brian Talbot - Assistant Director of Football Operations at Fulham

If any of this is wrong (or any mod) can update the thread!

The Pep Clotet and Brescia thing is just odd....

...sacked on 21 December 2022. On 16 January 2023, however, Clotet was reinstated as head coach with immediate effect, only to be dismissed once again less than a month later, on 6 February, after he failed to improve the team results. (from Wikipedia)

Yet another thing I find odd about the Pep Clotet thing is he hasn't had one successful job, not from my scour on Wikipedia anyway, yet manages to secure relatively high-profile jobs. He did a bad job with us and managed to move up a division to manage Birmingham - how is that happening?

Surely it can't be because his name is Pep?!

Tbf, he kept Birmingham in the Championship when they were imploding financially.

The teams relegated must have been utter toss!.

I reckon what he does is he signs all of his paperwork off with pep and people think it's the good pep until clothead turns up

I actually think about this regularly. On paper and in practice he's a totally s**t manager. I just don't get it, when the industry is so competitive this clown is still getting work!?

Brian Talbot is Assistant Director of Football Operations at Fulham I believe

Mark Wright seems to have dropped out too since leaving Southport in 2017

I believe him and someone else are in business trying to buy properties to develop around the Chester area.

Darren Patterson is a very odd one. Did a pretty decent job as caretaker at Rotherham,then disappeared!

He’s so bad that sacking him just the once seems inadequate.

Can we reinstate KR just so we can immediately sack him again?

Aah I mentioned his name goddammit…

I believe he went to Bristol Rovers and was a academy coach but has since gone into the wilderness.

A fair few ex players are now coaching/managers:

Andy Crosby is no 2 at Port Vale
Dean Whitehead 1st team coach at Cardiff
Wayne Hatswell no 2 at Wasall
Scott Davies player manager at Slough
Andy Whing manager of Banbury
Lee Bradbury manager of Eastleigh
Chris Allen manager of North Leigh
Darren Purse u21 manager at Cardiff
Mike Ford manager of Evesham

He got sacked before the end of that season though?

Very surprising he's gone over to Russia now, especially considering the invasion of Ukraine.

Talking of Russia, they played Iran the other day in a ‘friendly’ and then played Iraq on Sunday!

The 'beautiful game' turned ugly as soon as Iran-Russia kicked off

DANIEL MATTHEWS: Writers for TASS, Russia's state-owned news agency, had struggled to make up their mind. They referred to Thursday's meeting with Iran as a 'friendly'. And also an 'exhibition'.

Perhaps the moment when the game against the Korea DPR will take place is not far off

With any luck he's gone to torpedo Moscow, or at least our good friend Vlad the Barbarian Putin
