Nooooooooooo. If you’ve ever watched the Japanese matches you’ll know his defensive football is wasting our current golden generation. Us beating Germany and Spain was solely luck. The only good Japanese national team was the women’s one that won the World Cup back in 2011 or 2012? This guy sucks as a high level manager
Big Ange??
Beaty
Wow. This will allow the EPL to complete diversity bingo and bring about world peace!
So Ange Postecoglou winning the Asian cup with his home country doesn't count?
Avram Grant already coached in the EPL at Chelsea and West Ham. He's considered Asian as Israel is part of Asia
Only a matter of time really, probably win the prem before an Englishman too
Would need to get a better trim
Saying "there's never been an Asian manager in the top flight level in Europe" depends entirely on how you're defining Asian and Europe.
Kurban Bekiyevich Berdyev from Turkmen won the Russian first division twice as manager of Rubin Kazan.
Is he not "Asian" enough? Or is the Russian league not European enough?
can’t wait for asian football to grow, especially if they get another world cup there
