coco Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 In recent light of Keegans return to Newcastle, I'm struggling to think of one manager returning to his old club and being a success. All the ones i can think of have had success first time around but not the second, Howard Kendall being one of them. Can anyone think of a manager having a successful return to their old club ? Dont tell me about players returning to manage, as i can think of several of these, Keegan the obvious one, Dalglish at Liverpool another. e2a: Factfile: Their are 92 football league managers in England, 87 of those started their reign with their current club after the year 2000, only 5 of the 92 managers were in their job last century, 2 of them were Ferguson & Wenger.

loz Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Lippi at Juve probably the most obvious one and also Capello at Real MAdrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone think of a manager having a successful return to their old club ? I just read that Keegan is returning to Newcastle & the first thing that i thought of was Howard Kendall's ill fated return to Everton. Unlike Kendall, Keegan wasn't up to the job previously, i doubt this will last 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
