“The starting point in this country are coaching badges which are very expensive.”
With Harry Redknapp being the last English manager to win a trophy, dating back to 2008, and the FA choosing to look abroad when replacing Gareth Southgate, Football Weekly takes a look at why it is so difficult for up and coming English managers to make their mark.

England in the final against Spain were an embarrassment. The ball was in the air most of the time it was in our possession. Pickford kept booting the ball like it was 1974 and people wonder why we haven't won anything. The culture around football in this country is archaic. In Spain, kids aren't allowed to play competitive football until they're roughly 14 years old. They have to develop skill first, then they're allowed to play. That's why they pass better, faster. We don't even value passers of the ball. We glorify and promote the hod carriers, the blood stained warriors, not quality.
Feeling like this is just excuses
