Gary Nevill managed Man City to the Premier League title in his 3rd season as manager, after a stint at Yeovil. He left after 2 years to take over the England job after Southgate left following a dissapointing European Championship. Gary Neville then won the World Cup in 2018!
John Carew was liverpool manager for a while on mine.. dont know why, but he was sacked eventually! Ryan Giggs also got sacked, from weymouth though, wich was pretty strange... very strange!
