[Albion] Roberto De Zerbi nth Longest Serving Manager in the English League

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Tottenham interim manager Cristian Stellini believes Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has what it takes to manage a top-six side.

90min understands that De Zerbi is among Spurs' list of targets to succeed Antonio Conte as their permanent head coach.

Get this, be is already managing a 'top 6" side

 

[Acker79]

Doesn't impact on De Zerbi's place in the list, but McCarthy has left Blackpool. Stephen Dobbie to take interim charge.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Up another spot as Reading sack Paul Ince.

 

[El Presidente]

Doesn't impact on De Zerbi's place in the list, but McCarthy has left Blackpool. Stephen Dobbie to take interim charge.

As in former Albion legend Stephen Dobbie?

 

[LANGDON SEAGULL]

As in former Albion legend Stephen Dobbie?

 

[hart's shirt]

Up a place with Darrell Clarke sacked by Port Vale.

(Albion link...Andy Crosby takes over as interim replacement until the end of the season.)

 

[pasty]

Stellini sacked at Spurs

[Jack Straw]

I believe that there are 5 former Albion players on that list. That's quite a high percentage.

 

[AZ Gull]

I believe that there are 5 former Albion players on that list. That's quite a high percentage.

Seven, by my reckoning:-

Steve Cotterill (on loan)
Russell Martin (as a schoolboy)
Liam Rosenior
Chris Wilder
Jimmy McNulty
Stephen Dobbie
Andy Crosby

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Always shocking how quickly a new manager climbs up this list. RDZ will be halfway once the Summer is over.

I didn't count Russell Martin, and can't remember Stephen Dobbie whatsoever. Getting old and senile!

 

[Triggaaar]

can't remember Stephen Dobbie whatsoever

He was at the Amex. Not that he did much.

 

[Justice]

It was at the Amex. Not that he did much.

Was he the house elf?

 

[warmleyseagull]

2 Swindons means should be 93 on list? One club missing?

There are 93, but both swindon managers are are listed as 91.

There have been a few changes so I'm putting an update in here now. Not just with vacancies, but with teams being relegated from League Two and promoted from non-league.

 

[A1X]

Already approaching halfway and not even been here a full season yet, mad

 

[Machiavelli]

Does that make yesterday RDZ's nine month anniversary?

 

[AZ Gull]

I hadn't noticed that Enzo Maresca had been appointed manager at Leicester City until seeing that updated list. He is the guy who is very good mates with Roberto De Zerbi since they played together as schoolboys at AC Milan when they were 14/15 years of age.
