- Alf Ramsey (1963-1974) Highlight: Take a wild guess... Lowlight: Substituting Charlton in 1970. Contrarians might point out that Ramsey is the only England boss fortunate enough to have the advantage of a World Cup on home soil.
- Gareth Southgate (2016-present) Highlight: Football’s coming home: parts II and III. Lowlight: The most painful penalty heartache yet. Southgate got the England job in unusual circumstances, replacing Sam Allardyce after the ex-Bolton boss was disposed following a newspaper sting.
- Bobby Robson (1982-1990) Highlight: Nessun Dorma. Lowlight: Hand of God. Memories of Robson’s reign focus on his twinkly-eyed charm and the glorious oh-so-near of Italia ’90, but it wasn’t always such a love-in.
- Terry Venables (1994-1996) Highlight: Football’s coming home (or being on the first cover of FFT... you decide) Lowlight: El Tel left early. Venables was a slick operator with the media and a renowned coach.

Sam Allardyce was England manager for a little over two months and oversaw just a single game in 2016, leaving the role by mutual consent after he was secretly filmed allegedly trying to cut inappropriate deals with fake businessmen from Asia. His only game in the dugout was England’s first qualifier for the 2018 World Cup, with a late Adam Lallana...
After serving as an assistant manager under predecessor Sven Goran Eriksson, Steve McClaren immediately looked to make changes to the England squad, starting with leaving popular and long-serving captain David Beckham and other senior players out in the cold. His attempt to qualify for Euro 2008 was nothing short of a disaster. England dropped seve...
Graham Taylor's time as England manager started relatively positively after an unbeaten run that lasted 12 games and nearly a full year, but it all went quickly downhill as 1991 became 1992. The Three Lions were dumped out of Euro' 92 without a win, while England only won four of 11 games in 1993. The national team missed out on the 1994 World Cup ...
Don Revie was handed the reins of the national team after making Leeds United a real powerhouse of English football within the space of a few years. Under his guidance, England won the 1974/75 British Home Championship, but finished as low as third in 1976/77. Revie's England had also failed to make it to the final tournament at the 1976 European C...
Unfortunately for Kevin Keegan, he is the owner of the lowest win percentage of any full-time England manager. A hero as a player and club boss, his time in charge of the national team left a lot to be desired with a group stage exit at Euro 2000. Keegan then quit in October 2000 immediately after losing against Germany in the last ever game played...
Roy Hodgson assumed control of the England team just a month before Euro 2012 was due to begin. He seemed a logical choice as a respected veteran coach who had overachieved with West Brom in his most recent job. Yet despite strong qualifying performances, his tournament record was poor to say the least. Failure at the 2014 World Cup, finishing bott...
Glenn Hoddle picked up the reins after a successful Euro '96 on home soil and was tipped to take things on in the subsequent years with a very talented squad featuring rising young stars like David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Rio Ferdinand and others. His only tournament ended in penalty shootout heartbreak against Argentina in 1998, but his fate was ul...
Having firmly established himself as a legend during 13 years as West Ham boss, Ron Greenwood took over an England side in 1977 halfway through World Cup qualifying. Despite two wins in the final two games he was unable to steer the team to the finals in Argentina. England were strong at the British Home Championships under the guidance of Greenwoo...
Only the second foreign manager to hold the position, Fabio Capello assumed control after the miserable failure to qualify for Euro 2008. The no-nonsense Italian's influence was immediately clear and England dropped just three points en-route to the 2010 World Cup. Unfortunately for Capello, his very firm approach appeared too much when it got to t...
Sven Goran Eriksson, England's first ever foreign manager, wasn't often looked upon very fondly when he was in charge of the team, yet he actually achieved far more than most of his successors in the years since his departure. But for pre-tournament injuries to David Beckham, Gary Neville and Steven Gerrard, and a freak goal against Brazil, many wo...
