ex-players as managers

golfaddick

watched the FL programme last night and didn't realise that Gary Rowett was a manager now, which got me thinking to how many of our ex-players are currently managers and wondered if it was some type of record. At present I can think of:

Alan Pardew
Chris Powell
Ronnie Moore
Gary Rowett
Mark Robson
Tony Burman

any others I have missed (apart from Curbs who is not currently employed)

Beckboy

Di canio

Saga Lout

Costa was, not sure if he still is.

Off_it

Peter Shirtliff
Mark Bowen (if you count assistant managers)

If you count 'Head of Football Development.' (Whatever that means.)
Les Reid holds this position at Southampton.

Costa is indeed managing AEL in Cyprus, who Chris Dickson plays for.

Nelse was at Torquay for a while. Think Flash was at the Gills. Shirtliffs old CB partner Thommo was at Lincoln and Sheff Utd I think.
