Keegan Fights To Get Into The Record Books!
Last updated : 29 June 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor
Of the past 100 major domestic trophies contested in England only seven were won by managers with England caps.
It is 30 years since a former England player (Brian Clough) was English champion as a manager and in the same period 16 Serie A titles were won by bosses with Italy caps.
England sits unfavourably compared with Germany, France and even Spain, despite the habit of Barcelona and Real Madrid of appointing foreign coaches.
Howard Wilkinson won the last English title before the Premiership formed, but no English-born manager has ever won the Premiership title.
Keegan is looking for the same success as ourselves at St James' Park, and any honour would also be a boost for English-born managers.
