5 candidates to replace Sam Allardyce as England manager

#5 Eddie Howe

Eddie Howe has impressed greatly with Bournemouth

Eddie Howe is by all conventional means, a rookie as a manager. However, its very telling that the rumours of him being named as Arsene Wenger’s successor at Arsenal aren’t being laughed off – there is substance to the steely eyed Englishman who has guided AFC Bournemouth to historic heights of the Premier League.

England are clearly in need of fresh ideas, and Howe is very skilled at getting English players to play a good brand of football – just witness how he has moulded Harry Arter into a midfielder that can compete with the best of Europe.

However, there is danger in handing the reins of the England national team to a young, promising manager. Just witness how Glenn Hoddle’s managerial career went downhill after his England spell – Howe, however, has more about him and could conceivably do well as England manager.
