They're all pretty good examples of the quagmire theory though, aren't they? None of them are very likely to end up managers at elite clubs. |
I agree, but that is because they are either not very bright or not very articulate, both of which are a big help if you want to get a job at a top club.
Hassenhuttl and JF Hasselbaink are excluded from one or other of the above categorisations! |  | | |

I dunno, wouldn't say Scott Parker, Wayne Rooney or Steven Gerrard ever struck me as particularly brilliant in that respect. Get Pep Guardiola talking about literally anything other than football and he immediately jams his foot directly in his mouth. Arteta's got to be one of the least charismatic men in world football.
Hasselbaink fits the same brief as Lampard does in terms of playing career and representing himself well to the media. The different opportunities that presented themselves to both men are thus qWhite interesting. [Post edited 10 Dec 2021 18:55]

Yes, Jimmy might well wonder why he wasn't offered a much more prominent first job in management.
Get any of them talking about anything other than football and you are unlikely to get much in the way of cogent insights. | | | |

There are currently 5 elite level former players managing in the Premier League - Steven Gerrard, Mikel Arteta, Pep Guardiola, Patrick Vieira, Antonio Conte - only Conte has ever managed a first team outside a top national division (he managed a couple of teams in the Italian 2nd division).
In the Championship there's 2 more - Wayne Rooney and Scott Parker - both of whom have never managed a lower league team.
How many successful managerial careers have involved a proper elite footballer taking over a lower league club as a prelude to being a successful top level manager? I can't really think of any. League One is a quagmire. Even if you're a decent coach things might still go disastrously (because that's how lower league football is) and suddenly you look like a worse coach than Steve Evans. If it all goes brilliantly, what, you might get the Stoke City job and yet another chance for everything to go badly? [Post edited 10 Dec 2021 17:56]
