can’t wait for asian football to grow, especially if they get another world cup there
Saying "there's never been an Asian manager in the top flight level in Europe" depends entirely on how you're defining Asian and Europe.
Kurban Bekiyevich Berdyev from Turkmen won the Russian first division twice as manager of Rubin Kazan.
Is he not "Asian" enough? Or is the Russian league not European enough?
Would need to get a better trim
Only a matter of time really, probably win the prem before an Englishman too
Avram Grant already coached in the EPL at Chelsea and West Ham. He's considered Asian as Israel is part of Asia
So Ange Postecoglou winning the Asian cup with his home country doesn't count?
Wow. This will allow the EPL to complete diversity bingo and bring about world peace!
Beaty
Big Ange??
