LMA fears opportunities for British managers abroad will be damaged by post-Brexit restrictions

The League Managers’ Association fear post-Brexit restrictions damaging the chances of British coaches working abroad in the future. Restrictions on Premier League and EFL clubs appointing foreign managers will come in from January and see new arrivals requiring to work 24 months in the previous five years at a “top league”. But it also means up-and-coming managers without experience could be out of the running for jobs in the European Union, according to LMA chief executive Richard Bevan. “The restrictions on the free movement of people post Brexit may well deliver more opportunities for British managers and coaches within the English game,” said Bevan. “However, those same restrictions may also reduce the opportunities for British managers and coaches to work at clubs across the EU. “The majority of managers and coaches coming from abroad are likely to satisfy the GBE criteria which comes into force on Jan 1, 2021 whether automatically or via the Exceptions Panel, ensuring that the English game continues to have access to the best talent, regardless of their nationality.” The Football Association announced this week that a post-Brexit transfer blueprint was approved by the Home Office. Most of the focus was on the restriction of players as Premier League clubs will no longer be able to raid Under-18 Academy prospects from European rivals but there were also criteria set out for appointments of managers, assistant managers and director of football jobs. These appointments can qualify if they get through the points-based system but those falling just below the threshold may be considered by an Exceptions Panel. Managers with similar experience to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would not automatically qualify as his coaching experience was mainly in Norway, which is not considered a top league. The Manchester United manager, however, could qualify for a UK passport during his time as a player.
