World Cup survey: 1 in 2 fans want next England manager to be English, 44% say workers shouldn’t work from home during England games
47% of respondents believe England’s next football manager should be English.
Southgate’s win percentage currently sits at 60.5%, fourth in the all-time list of England managers.
Who’s first? Italian Fabio Capello with 64.4%.
Nick Raffoul, data analyst at Fair Betting Sites commented on the poll results:
“Gareth Southgate has restored English pride not only in the team but in the managerial position. Hodgson & McClaren’s stint as England manager could be seen as a black spot in the history of English football managers, however Southgate has certainly wetted the country’s appetite for another English manager in the future.”
