Are all modern managers the same?

THE TIMES
About this episode

It’s been a long season…but it’s not over just yet.

Some very big clubs are looking for new managers and some big managers are available. So, who goes where?

Jonny Northcroft, Gregor Robertson and Martin Samuel join Tom Clarke to take a closer look at potential appointments.

With Maresca looking likely to leave Leicester, where does that leave the football league champions? Wayne Rooney has been given a chance at Plymouth…is it warranted?

Ahead of this weekend, Martin Samuel has been to meet Carlo Ancelotti, a great coach and a true gentleman.

With the Euros only two weeks away a quick look at England’s road to being joint favourites for the tournament.

Finally, Martin and Jonny are off to Germany. From there they’ll be part of daily episodes of ‘The Game’ where you can get the inside track on the tournament from all the regular panellists. Please follow to make sure you don’t miss an episode.

 

PS – what is a resting bitch face…?
