rodders0223 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Quote Former Watford and Coventry boss Aidy Boothroyd has been confirmed as manager of the England Under-21 team. The Under-20 boss replaces Gareth Southgate, who vacated the role to become England manager after the departure of Sam Allardyce. Boothroyd, 45, took charge for the U21 side's final two Euro 2017 qualifiers and secured qualification for this summer's finals in Poland. I remember watching this guy's Watford team. They played long ball football that would make Gary Megson blush...but he has done his badges, sucked up to a few words removed at the FA and is now on the gravy train. Do we even care about developing footballers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we even care about developing footballers? the criteria was simple and Boothroyd was 1st manager that springs to mind haha Quote Boothroyd will now return to his duties with the Under-20s, opening up a vacancy within the England set-up for a UEFA Pro Licence coach to help fulfill The FA's ambition of winning the 2022 World Cup. http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/the-fa-advertise-england-under21-manager-role-on-their-website-a3419086.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
