Robbie Fowler slams 'absolutely ridiculous' reason he can't get manager job in England

Robbie Fowler believes it is 'absolutely ridiculous' that he has been told he is not experienced enough as a manager in England to be considered for roles.

The Liverpool legend has managed in India, Australia and Thailand, but is yet to secure his first managerial role in his home country despite being linked with Football League jobs.

Fowler is biding his time and is ready to act once a job offers itself to him in England, the former striker is prepared to go back overseas if an opportunity does not present itself.

The 48-year-old had a year stint at Muangthong United, Brisbane Roar and East Bengal, but has not managed since 2021 as he awaits his next opportunity.

Speaking to BettingOdds.com, Fowler said: "Hopefully, it is. In this game we’re in I don’t think you ever really know what’s around the corner: that could be being sacked or getting the next job. Once you are actually on the managerial merry-go-round it’s a little bit easier!

"What I have been told so far, and I think it’s absolutely ridiculous, is that I’m not really experienced in this country. I can’t understand that. I have managed in three different countries, so you’re learning daily about different teams, cultures, and methods. It’s not as though I’m new to it. I have every single coaching badge: the highest Pro License you can have.

"I’m currently doing an LMA diploma which is level with the Pro License. I think I’ve just got to show people that I’m dedicated to my passion, which is football. I’ve just got to wait. I’ll keep looking, but in all honesty it’s a bit frustrating so if I need to go overseas again, then I’ll do that because I feel as though I’ve got a lot to give."
