Analyzing the management of the career of England ‘Golden Generation’ as Gerrard leaves Al -ettifaq
Steven Gerrard is the latest Golden Generation of England, which has failed in its managerial career with the former Liverpool midfielder, Al -ettifaq Alete.
Gerrard’s two -year -old magic in the Saudi league ended up in Understanding style while abandoning Al -ettifaq 12. In the league, he had to have failed to step up his republic after releasing Aston Villa.
His departure is coming a few weeks after Plymouth rejected another former Lava Wayne Rooney captain, and Frank Lampard recently returned to the management with Coventry.
Increed as some of England’s best players ever, all three struggled to prove that they were capable of making similar successful careers on Hotseat to manage.
Here’s how England’s Golden Generation has gone in management so far.
Gary Neville
The first of England’s players and the generation to go into the top job, Gary Neville had great hopes of success when Valencia Boss was appointed in December 2015.
Neville, who retired from playing 2011, was seen as one of the bright young minds in English football, after a successful magic, as Pundit on Sky Sports and Management considered the next step because he spent time as Assistant Roy Hodgson in England.
But his time in Spain could hardly be worse, with the former Manchester United man fired just over three months and 28 games later.
Of the 16 league matches he operated, he only won three games and felt the wrath of supporters when his side of Valencia beat 7-0 at Copa del Rey.
Neville has since said about his experience in Spain: “I was a young English coach, I did not speak language, I arrived in a difficult time and the truth was that it was too much for me.”
JUDGMENT: It is sharp to call Neville a bad manager based on this heavy magic, but it is probably best to adhere to the Punditar, where he proved to be much more successful.
Steven Gerrard
Gerrard was the following who tried his happiness as a boss, because after the time in charge of Liverpool under 18, in May 2018, a huge job of renewing the Rangers in their former fame.
Early signs were good, which Gers competed again, and the Europa League last 16 in the 2019-20 season.
At 2020-21. He made a hero in the blue half of Glasgow while led to the Scottish title of the Premiership, preventing bitter rivals of the Celtics to win at 10. In a row, leaving undefeated and collecting 102 points along the way.
A few months later, Gerrard secured his return to the Premier League because he was appointed manager Aston Villa after dean Smith was released. Once again, the early signs were good as Vilane took the outburst problems, though in an unspecient style.
But the bad start of the 2022-23 season saw his mandate dismissed only 11 months, and was discharged after a horrific 3-0 defeat in Fulham, leaving them hovering above the relegation zone as fans turned to the former Liverpool icon.
Gerrard then shocked many when he decided to take his managerial career to the Saudi Pro League. His time in charge of Al -ettifaq barely encouraged his management credentials-that may have damaged more.
After leading them to sixth place in his only full season, he leaves the club 12 in the League of 18 teams, five points above the relegation zone after winning only two of the 11 games this season.

JUDGMENT: Gerrard’s last two management magicians certainly damaged his reputation after appreciating him as the brightest in the crowd while he was with the Rangers. The fairy job was probably too much, too early, while it is difficult to judge performance in the Saudi Pro League.
Because of this, Gerrard is likely to get another chance in England, but they will almost certainly have to take the job in the lower reach of the championship or below.
Frank Lampard
The same month Gerrard got a Rangers gig, Lampard was installed as a manager of the Derby Championship Club.
Like Gerrard, the former Chelsea midfielder looked naturally in the role, leading RAMS to the unlikely playoffs in his only indebted season, using his contacts to lead to Fikayo Tomori and Mason Mount on Stamford Bridge.
Lampard was then surprisingly recorded by his dream job next summer, and Chelsea decided on his former Champions League to see them through the uncertainty of the embargo of transfers.
In the first season he did more than a reputable job, leading the Blues to the Champions League qualification and conducting through numerous young stars.
It went halfway through the next season, with bad results that led to his release, and Thomas Tuchel took them leading to the glory of the Champions League.
Lampard, however, has done enough to stay in the Premier League with Everton, and once again started well, leading Toffees for safe relegation.
But in January, he once again turned into January, because he was fired due to fear of relegation. His latest job was another stay in the 2022-23 season after the release of Potter Graham, where he won only one of his 11 answers.
He now returns to the management with Coventry, whom he raised to 12th. After winning six of his 13 games in charge of replacing Mark Robins.
JUDGMENT: The jury stays outside. Lampard should not be judged by his latest time in Chelsea, but his first magic, as well as his Everton term, was hardly convincing.
Return to the Championship with Coventry, who is similar to Derby, looks like a good place to renovate his republic. Whether it’s a good move for Coventry, after years of success under Robins, it’s another thing.
Wayne Rooney
Wayne Rooney’s managerial journey also started with Derby, but with the club in a much more terrible position because they were rooted to the bottom of the championship.
After entering the role of his player, the former UTD striker impressively chosen 31 points out of a possible 54 from his first 18 games to eventually save the club financially striker from relegation against the quota.
But the deduction of 21 points has lowered them to the league-son anyway, which Rooney resigned. A few weeks later he returned to Atlanta United, where he had previously starred during the last years of his playing career.
Rooney missed the play-off MLS in both seasons and then left America to return to England with Birmingham City in a surprising move after former head of John Eustace had sixth on the table.
His time in St Andrews was a disaster, and the blues went from six to 20. In just 15 matches, in which they won only twice.
The 39-year-old was discharged only three months before he landed another championship job with Plymouth a few months later.
This did not manage to last all the season because he was fired with pilgrims rooted to the bottom of the league in early January.

JUDGMENT: Rooney’s Mamageric prospects have taken great beating after his last two managerial business with Blues and Plymouth. The attacker seems desperate to do so in the management, but it may be the best place for a short break to evaluate his capabilities after two intense tenses.
It seems unlikely that another side of the championship will gamble on Rooney, so a return to MLS or maybe a spell in Europe could be the best bet.
The rest
Even their teammates of England did not have too much success. Paul Scholes He managed one game as a temporary chief of Salford before only seven games in charge of Oldham and failed since 2019.
Gary’s brother Phil Neville He had permanent spells in charge of Lionnesses and Inter Miami, and now he is 38 games in his time with the Portland Timbers.
Sol Campbell Macclesfield led to safety in 2018, but his time in charge of Southend proved to be a disaster and has not succeeded ever since.
The most promising of the two may be Scott Parker and Michael Carrick, Although it should be discussed whether they should include them as part of ‘golden generation’.
Parker has been promoted to Fulham and Bournemouth, and currently Burnley is in third place. Carrick’s Middlesbrough were also at play-off positions after provoking promotion from his appointment in October 2022. After two games in charge of former Club United.
