Canada boss John Herdman has been attracting admiring glances from English clubs, including Burnley, Blackburn and QPR.
Herdman, 46, is a great story because he was born in Consett, County Durham, was at Sunderland’s academy before moving to New Zealand 20 years ago.
He took over the women’s team, led them to the Olympics and then got a job in Canada where he led them to two consecutive bronze medals and eventually became the national men’s coach in 2018.
