Dean (hick) Saunders Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Bobby Robson was a forward in Rooney type role (ie not out and out striker) I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champions League - 3 times La Liga - 2 times Spanish Cup - 2 times Club World Cup - 2 times Super Cup - 1 time Joint best winning streak in La Liga history Longest unbeaten run in Spanish history Longest scoring run Only manager to win back to back Champions Leagues (then winning it a third time in a row too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboto Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 There are lots of examples of strikers that have made excellent managers (see above ?), also midfielders, defenders and goalkeepers can be excellent managers. It doesn't matter what position you played when you were playing, but how well you understand the game, how clear you can give instructions and how well you understand tactics and how to make the most of what you have available.

strawhillram Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Kevin Keegan. Good style of play and hair, but didn’t win anything. So a good manager but not a hugely successful one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
