Where do football managers go when they are sacked?
With football management one of the most difficult jobs to keep over a long period of time, it does seem that managers always tend to disappear when they are sacked. Where do they go?
It was a pleasure to see Gary Megson, the ex Bolton manager sacked last Thursday on BBC’s Football Focus on Saturday. Where most managers tend to vanish quicker than stains rubbed with that stuff in the pink bottle, it was good to see Gary with his head held high discussing the problems of managing Bolton and the results that eventually saw his downfall.
One may remember when Kevin keegan left Newcastle United last year when things were not placed into his control, he subsequently left the club and no one has heard anything since, is he possible managing on another planet? Alpha Centuri perhaps.
The same can be said of Gareth Southgate who was fired by Middlesbrough when lying in the top 4 of the Championship, he promptly disappeared without trace and maybe only those closely connected to the ex England defender will know his current whereabouts.
The first thing most managers do when sacked is to seek refuge or sanctuary somewhere. Away from the press, away from football. Many managers do like to get straight back into the swing of things so not to lose touch with football. These and many others do tend to get in touch with the League Managers Association (LMA) to see what jobs are available to them, others will have agents who call just about every football club to see if they can grab a quick slice of some tasty cake.
As football is a high paying sport, it is not necessary for football managers to immediately get back on the payroll leaving them free to take a nice four month break, for the mortals amongst us it is not so simple, plumbers, customer service assistants and policemen for example would not be able to cope with this and would have to get back into work almost immediately.
Since Gary Megsons untimely sacking, the best online bookmakers have selected Owen Coyle the ex Bolton and current Burnley manager as 6/1 on favourite. Something tells me they know something most do not although Peter Reid 6/1 and Mark Hughes (who disappeared recently) 20/1 seem like good bets as Boltons board suggested they wanted a manager with good Premiership management experience.
I am off to find Big Phil Scolari.

The creative force behind Floyd’s first distinctively baroque collection is credited with just one track here (“Jugband Blues”) and th… |
