Former players of the 80S/90s, now coaches

[dmar]

It seems to me that of late a lot of ex-players of those years are starting careers as coaches right now... It seems like a whole generation has had roughly the same idea at the same time.

Portugal: Koeman.

Holland: Van Basten, Gullit.

Denmark: Laudrup.

Italy: Ancelotti.

Spain: Rijkaard, Schuster, Quique Sanchez, Michel, Abel Resino.

Mexico: Hugo Sanchez.

Do you know others?

[Excape Goat]

Is Matthaus still coaching in Brazil?

Others:
feyernoord: Edwin Koeman
Livorno: Donadoni
Inter Milan: Mancini
Germany: Klinsmann.
Albania: Briegel
B.Munich: Magath
Hamburger: Doll

Ummm, it's the way things work. Players go on to be managers.

In the Premiership this season you had

Martin Jol
Mark Hughes
Glenn Roeder
Sam Allardyce
Paul Jewell
Chris Coleman
David Moyes
Alan Curbishley
Steve McClaren
Stuart Pearce
Steve Bruce
Bryan Robson
Mick McCarthy

all of whom played in the 80s or 90s.

[Excape Goat]

Some of the players who played in the 1980s are in their late 50s. keegan actually retired from coaching.

Yeah, but I didn't think so many of them from that particular era would do it, I dunno.

he left...

Do u all think a lot of this era's players will become coaches? I jus felt that a lot of those guys are in it because they didnt make a lot of money... now players are making millions... maybe 3rd or 4th division players... but not superstars... u have superstars from that era managing now... tht wont happen in 10 years in my opinion

[Bertje]

Danny Blind just got fired, Jan Wouters will be assistant-coach at PSV, Mario Been is going to coach NEC and there must be a few more.

[hanul21]

Cha Bum Keun started coaching a while back. had a time with Korea's NT but left.

Yeah, who'd have thought that ex-players would become coaches in their 40s?

[lanman]

It might be a bit different going forward given the amount of money mediocre players can make these days. Whereas 20 years ago your average top flight player would have often needed to work after retiring from playing, a similar player today will more than likely not need to financially. Whether as many will have the motivation remains to be seen.

Some of them will be bored staying at home and want to be a part of a team after retirement.

I dont know if "a lot", but some current players have already stated that they want to coach - Roberto Carlos, for example. And he is certainly not thinking about the money.
