AskGamblers launch creative competition for England fans to get their very own UEFA coaching licence & become the ‘unofficial’ England manager

AskGamblers have launched a nationwide search for England’s new official armchair manager, challenging football fans from across the country to finally put their management credentials to the test.

With football fans continually believing that they can do better than the appointed manager, AskGamblers is willing to back one supporter, providing funding for them to become an official UEFA licensed coach, and subsequently the nation’s most qualified armchair manager.

Inspired by findings in the summer that 40% of England fans thought that they could do a better job than former England manager Gareth Southgate, AskGamblers are now providing the nation’s armchair managers a unique opportunity to gain a coaching licence.

Call-out for the nation’s armchair managers: Applications now open

AskGamblers is giving England fans from across the country the chance to put their coaching prowess where their mouth is, providing funding for a supporter to become an official UEFA licensed coach.

One supporter will have their journey to become the country’s most qualified armchair manager financed by AskGamblers, with the nationwide search for England’s new official armchair manager now on!

The selected supporter will be eligible to receive funding to undertake both the FA Introduction to Coaching course and UEFA C licence course, as well as two mandatory courses related to first aid and safeguarding training.
