Steve McClaren is undoubtedly a well-known name amongst British football fans.
Whether that is from his short tenure as England manager, the second shortest in history, or from his impressive Carling Cup triumph with Middlesborough back in 2004. It was certainly a shock for most fans when he was appointed as Erik Ten Hag’s assistant manager this season, but judging from recent form, it was certainly a good choice.
The English journeyman has already had incredible success with Manchester United as an assistant manager as he was Sir Alex Furguson’s hand-picked right-hand man from 1999 to 2001. During that time, he helped United win three Premier League titles, one FA Cup and who can forget the 1999 Champions League trophy – completing the infamous treble. His first spell at the club was full of success and he won the league in every season while he was there.
