Profile

Steve McClaren is a former England manager who has had a varied career in the dugout, managing in his homeland, Germany, and Holland, to varying degrees of success. In May 2018 he signed a two-year deal to become the new QPR manager.

Highlights include leading FC Twente to the dutch title for the first time in the club's history, and hoisted the League Cup with Middlesbrough. On the other side of the pendulum McClaren infamously failed to lead England through to Euro 2008, while he endured disappointing spells in charge of the likes of Wolfsburg, Nottingham Forest, and Newcastle.

Steve McClaren Quotes

I don't read the papers, I don't gamble, I don't even know what day it is!

I'll tell you something. I won't be taking a bloody brolly.
