Management Career |
|
Club(s) |
Started as coach
at Crystal Palace FC at the beginning of 1975 and becoming the club's
manager in June 1976. Venables was hot
property and a wanted man. Arsenal FC attempted to lure him at the time
too in the summer of '76, and Chelsea FC too, a year later. Venables was involved in
the England U21 set-up under Ron Greenwood in January 1978, when he became
Dave Sexton's coach. Birmingham City FC attempted to replace
Alf Ramsey with Venables, Jimmy Armfield wanted him as his assistant at
Leeds United AFC and the Australian national team wanted him, all in 1978.
In December 1979, a one million pound four-year contract to coach the New York Cosmos
was not enough to entice Venables away from England. Venables remained
loyal to Palace, but Palace were not loyal to him, so he left to take over
as Queen's Park Rangers FC manager on 14 October 1980 and soon he became its
second largest shareholder in November 1981. In the 1983 summer, Arsenal
FC wanted him again, as did Tottenham Hotspur FC. He did however join
Barcelona FC in May 1984 until his dismissal in September 1987, returning
to Tottenham Hotspur FC as manager on 23 November 1987,
becoming its Chief Executive in July 1991, where he remained until his
acrimonious split in June 1993.
Appointed England team coach 28 January 1994 under a contract expiring at
the conclusion of the European Championship 1996 final tournament;
Venables had decided at the Euro 96 draw in December 1995, that he would
not be seeking to renew his contract the following summer. Took
over as the national coach of Australia in November 1996, and at the same
time the Chairman of Portsmouth FC. He left Australia in 1997 after
failure to reach the World Cup 1998 Finals, and soon left Portsmouth too.
In March 1998, he returned to Crystal Palace FC as a manager, but it
promised to be a false dawn for the club as he left the following January.
Venables' remained out of work until December 2000, when he became Bryan
Robson's assistant at Middlesbrough FC to help stave them from relegation.
They both left the club on 12 June 2001. Another year away from the
game and he returned to manage Leeds United AFC from 8 July 2002 until his
sacking on 21 March 2003. Returned to the England set-up in August
2006 as McClaren's assistant, and left at the time of McClaren's sacking. |
