Alan Shearer's only spell in the managerial arena was a unsuccessful eight-game spell in charge of his beloved Newcastle, with whom he was unable to save from relegation out of the Premier League, back in 2009.

Shearer has since returned to his position as a pundit on Match of the Day, a role he is likely to continue in for some time.

Alan Shearer Quotes

It doesn't matter that I didn't win a trophy because I did it my way and I lived the dream.
