Newcastle United manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 Pardew revealed his aspiration to coach England sometime in the future but felt that he needs to strengthen his Premier League credentials first.
The Englishman has enjoyed astounding success with the Magpies in the 2011/12 campaign, guiding them to a surprise fifth-place finish. He subsequently won the accolades of the Barclays and League Manager’s Association Manager of the Season.
The 50-year old Englishman was glad upon receiving the acknowledgement from his peers and the people linked with the sport, and believed that he still needs to go a long way to break into list of the candidates for the national coaching http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
He told the reporters, “I will not have proven myself good enough until I've been in the Premier League for four or five years, won a trophy and competed in Europe.”
The former West Ham United boss took over the management of the Tyneside outfit from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Hughton in December 2010. And even though only 5.5 percent of the club’s fans voted in favour of his appointment, he soon vindicated the decision of his employers.
Newcastle completed a remarkable return to the Premier League in 2010/11 season by securing the 12th spot in the league table. With the club finishing ahead of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 to the fifth spot in the following term under the Englishman’s
management, Newcastle also grabbed a place in the Europa league next season.
In total, Pardew has coached the Magpies in 66 games in all competitions and boosts a 42.4 percent win record.
Touching the subject of Roy Hodgson’s selection as the national manager for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 side ahead of Harry Redknapp, the Toon boss thought that the media played the central role in swinging the decision in favour of the former.
He remarked, “Do I think Harry should have got the job? I thought at the time if the media hadn't played it so strongly maybe he’d have got it.”
However, Pardew approved the appointment of Hodgson and was glad to see an Englishman grabbing the managerial seat at England. He was of the opinion that even though the foreign coaches are able to execute their plans and tactics effectively at the club
well, their efforts to change the culture of football at the national level has been the main factor of England’s demise in the international arena.
Pardew was also supportive of Hodgson’s decision to axe http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Terry-c18895 and believed that the move was solely based on merit.
He continued, “Even [Sir] http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 [Ferguson] has questioned Rio this year, saying he's got to change his game. That was a warning that perhaps all wasn't well with Rio.”
