Won the u17 Championship in 2010 and 2014 with England

And wasn't he our academy director a while back?

"Peacock's first spell at The FA, from 1990-1998, was spent as a Regional Director in the Midlands and during the intervening years Peacock was Academy Director at Derby County where he helped develop numerous youngsters into first team players. On leaving to join The FA in 2002, Derby had 14 youth internationals and three Under-21 internationals."

Yeah, knew I'd heard his name from somewhere. Don't have a clue how though because I was only a youngster during that time :lol:

Interesting. So that'll be 2 guys with no senior management experience? 

The bloke with lots of it at the highest level did so well last season, didn't he?

Peacock is an exceptional coach for the England youth side - he's done a fantastic job. 

I listened to some of his stuff on talkSPORT and he's got a great reputation. I guess being so close to St. George's park has helped us seal this. 

Great news.
