What About Steve Cooper?

Although he is a Welshman, Steve Cooper has managed the England u15s and u17s. He led the latter to World Cup glory in 2017.

His side that was World Champions in India included Jadon Sancho, Phil Foden, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Conor Gallagher, Marc Guehi, and Emile Smith Rowe. Cooper knows how to get the best out of these players and how to lead them to win a tournament.

He has enjoyed great success with Nottingham Forrest leading them to promotion to the Premier League. However, his side is currently 19th in the division and he may be out of work by the time the World Cup finishes and could be a great fit for the Three Lions.
