PurpleCanary 5,557 Posted June 6, 2022 Would Knutsen have even qualified under the post-Brexit rules? The Mail has a piece on the subject today: "To qualify for a GBE, potential managers have to meet specific criteria, which includes a total of 36 months first-team management in a major league within the previous five years, or 24 months consecutively in post, and the club they are planning to join must be without a manager." The wording is not totally clear but of the "24 months" bit also refers to a major league then presumably not, since I doubt Norway is counted as a major league.

Found this on the FA website about it. Band 1 means the English Premier League, the Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1. Band 2 means the Portuguese Primeira Liga, Eredivisie, Belgian First Division A, the Turkish Super Lig and the English Championship. Band 3 means the Russian Premier League, Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, Primera División of Argentina, Liga MX and the Scottish Premiership. Band 4 means the Czech First League, Croatian First Football League, the Swiss Super League, La Liga 2, Bundesliga 2, Ukrainian Premier League, the Greek Superleague, the Colombian Categoría Primera A, the USA’s Major League Soccer, the Austrian Football Bundesliga and Ligue 2. Band 5 means the Serbian SuperLiga, the Danish Superliga, the Polish Ekstraklasa, the Slovenian PrvaLiga, the Chilean Primera División, the Uruguayan Primera División and the Chinese Super League. I don't see the Norweigan league on here but I wonder if I'm missing something- I can't imagine the Chinese or Columbian leagues are considered stronger competitions?

From that I would guess Norway and the other Scandi leagues are in Band 5 at best, if that's where the Danish Superliga is. So presumably we could not have hired Knutsen even if we'd wanted to. Nor could we now have got Farke. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So presumably we could not have hired Knutsen even if we'd wanted to. Nor could we now have got Farke. Norway is not a Top League as per the criteria laid out in the FA's GBE Requirement for Men's Team Manager. https://www.thefa.com/-/media/files/thefaportal/governance-docs/gbe-criteria/gbe-mens-managers-criteria-jan-2021.ashx That doesn't mean that we couldn't have hired him, as we could have applied to the Exceptions Panel. This panel would have made a decision based on the domestic league that Bodo/Glimt had been playing in and also their performance in the UEFA competitions. For what it's worth, I think that we probably would have got a GBE from the Exceptions Panel. Watford employed Xisco Munoz in December 2020 and the new requirements came in to force on 1 January 2021. He had only been managing in Georgia-not a Top League-for 4 months so he probably wouldn't have got a GBE even from the Exceptions Panel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man Utd applied for and got an exception for Rangnick. But that was Man Utd, and Rangnick was being hired specifically as an interim manager until the end of the season, with a consultancy post thereafter.

Didn't see the Swedish Allsvenskan either. Always thought the Norwegian, Swedish and Danish leagues were relatively similar in standard. Sod it. Now I'm intrigued. Looks like Norway and Denmark are currently very similar, Sweden a shade behind. All are some way ahead of Slovenia and Poland, which are both mentioned. So Band 5 would be a logical place for them to be located, you'd think.Country coefficients | UEFA Coefficients | UEFA.com Edited June 7, 2022 by TheGunnShow Found official UEFA link instead.
