Joined the Football Association in 2011, initially as head of elite development before taking over as Under-21 coach two years later; appointed caretaker manager of the national side in September 2016 following Allardyce's departure.

  • Review of 2010/11 – Part 2 – Losing Their Way
    Review of 2010/11 – Part 2 – Losing their way Leeds United’s return to the Championship had seen them exceed expectations, despite heavy defeats at home to Preston and Cardiff and an embarrassing 5-2 reverse at Barnsley. The sheen of beating table-topping QPR on 18 December had been dulled by losing two-goal leads against Leicester and Portsmouth, but as 2011 opened, Leeds were fourth in the table, level on 40 points with Cardiff and Swansea, with Rangers seven points clear of that pack. It was heady stuff after three years in the League One wilderness and supporters were hopeful of a real promotion push in the New Year. Andy O'Brien, pictured celebrating his goal against Hull City on 9 November, made his move to Elland Road permanent on New The positive mood was enhanced by the Year's Day announcement that Irish international centre-back Andy O’Brien, on loan from Bolton since 29 October, would make the move permanent. O’Brien, who represented himself in contract talks, commented: “The meeting with the chairman was something I will remember all my life. It was a bit like when I signed my first contract at Bradford with Geoffrey Richmond – that was entertaining as well. My Dad came in with me initially and he is a big bloke of around 20 stone. The chairman’s first words were, ‘We’ll sign the fat one instead.’ My Dad replied he had been on a diet for six weeks, to which the chairman said, ‘Well that isn't effing working, is it?’ Dad is quite quick-witted and said back, ‘Well I don’t know what your excuse is’.

Former Slavia trainee Tomáš Pekhart, a forward, is also at Tottenham, signing a contract in March 2006. • Versatile central defender Marek Suchý also spent a spell on trial at Tottenham in 2006. • The two sides already knew each other well before the first leg, with Tottenham having knocked Slavia out of the first round of the 2006/07 UEFA Cup 2-0 on aggregate.

  • Soccer Club Reactions and Fan Racism
    The University of Chicago Offsides: Soccer Club Reactions And Fan Racism by Joshua Small August 2021 A paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree in the Master of Arts Program in the Committee on International Relations Faculty Advisor: Leora Auslander Preceptor: Yubing Sheng Introduction On a cold day in November of 2019, excitement was in the air as two teams in Italy’s premier soccer league squared off for a chance to improve their seasons in Series A. Brescia and Verona might not be Italy’s most premier teams, but the crowds have always passionately supported their clubs.1 On this day, Brescia striker, Mario Balotelli was racially abused by the Verona crowd, as they made monkey chants toward him on the pitch. Balotelli, a Black Italian of Jewish descent, has unfortunately grown accustomed to hearing these chants and even has had banana peels thrown on the field in a racist act to degrade his humanity. In response to this incident, Balotelli angrily kicked the soccer ball into the crowd. After the match, the Verona manager, Ivan Juric, was asked about the racism committed by his Verona fans and gave what should have been a surprising response.
