Hello, football fans! Welcome to another edition of my blog, where I share my thoughts and opinions on everything related to the beautiful game. Today, I want to talk about a very interesting topic: Michael Beale and his chances of becoming the next manager of the England football team.

Who is Michael Beale, you may ask? Well, he is one of the most promising and talented coaches in British football right now. He is currently managing Rangers in Scotland, where he has led them to a remarkable turnaround after taking over from Giovanni van Bronckhorst, who was sacked in November 2022. Beale has won 18 out of 20 games in charge, scoring 52 goals and conceding only 12. He has also guided Rangers to the knockout stages of the Europa League, where they will face Napoli in February.

But Beale is not a newcomer to Rangers. He was previously the first team coach under Steven Gerrard, who left for Aston Villa in 2021. Beale followed Gerrard to Villa Park, but only stayed for six months before accepting an offer to become the manager of Queens Park Rangers in June 2022. He did a decent job at QPR, leading them to the top of the Championship table before leaving for Rangers in November.

Beale’s coaching career started at Chelsea, where he worked with their youth teams for eight years. He then moved to Liverpool, where he coached their under-16s and under-23s teams. He also had a brief stint in Brazil, working as an assistant to Rogério Ceni at São Paulo in 2017. He has always been praised for his tactical acumen, his ability to develop young players and his passion for the game.

But what makes him a potential candidate for the England job? Well, there are several reasons why Beale could be a good fit for the Three Lions. First of all, he has a lot of experience working with English players at different levels. He has coached some of the current England stars, such as Tammy Abraham and Dominic Solanke, when they were at Chelsea’s academy. He has also worked with Gerrard, who is widely regarded as one of the best midfielders England ever produced.

Secondly, he has a clear philosophy and style of play that suits England’s strengths. He likes his teams to play with high intensity, pressing and possession. He also likes to use a 4-3-3 formation, which is similar to what Gareth Southgate has been using with England. He is not afraid to experiment with different tactics and formations, depending on the opponent and the situation.

Thirdly, he has a winning mentality and a hunger for success. He has shown that he can handle pressure and expectations at Rangers, where he has revived their title hopes and restored their pride. He has also shown that he can cope with adversity and challenges, such as moving to a different country and culture when he went to Brazil.

Of course, Beale is not perfect and he has some weaknesses that could count against him if he wants to become England’s next boss. One of them is his lack of experience at managing at the highest level. He has never managed in the Premier League or in any major international tournament. He may struggle to deal with the scrutiny and criticism that comes with being England’s manager.

Another weakness is his loyalty and commitment. He has changed clubs quite frequently in his career, never staying longer than three years at any place. He may be tempted by other offers or opportunities if they arise. He may also find it hard to balance his club and country duties if he gets both jobs.

Finally, he may face some competition from other candidates who have more credentials or popularity than him. Some of the names that have been linked with the England job include Brendan Rodgers, Graham Potter, Eddie Howe and even Steven Gerrard himself. Beale may have to prove himself more than them if he wants to get the nod from the FA.

So, what do you think? Do you think Michael Beale would be a good choice for England’s next manager? Or do you have another preference? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below. And don’t forget to subscribe to my blog for more football insights and analysis. Thanks for reading!
