10 football players who could become great managers in the future

#4 James Milner

Liverpool FC v Everton FC - Premier League

James Milner may not be the most obvious choice in the world of football, but Jurgen Klopp is someone worth listening to. The German coach has, after all, been right about most things for the past five years.

Milner is a Premier League veteran and has bundles of experience in England to go with his ability to bring the best out of his teammates. It is a well-known fact that the English midfielder contributes immensely to Liverpool's training sessions and plays an important role in guiding the squad's younger members.

Milner has had to adapt to a variety of environments during his playing career. The Premier League stalwart has played for five different clubs, often taking up different roles within the team to work for the greater good. Milner's career hasn't always been a pretty picture, but if you delve deeper into his feats, an ideal team player comes to the fore.

Milner seems to have a flair for taking initiative and ensuring that his team performs at the highest possible level, irrespective of whether he has a role to play in the starting eleven.

Milner's most endearing quality is his indomitable spirit, both on and off the pitch. The midfielder always seems to want more from the game, and a managerial role would be the ideal next step.
