Okay, answer time:

A – Keegan it is. Spiral, he has begun his career in 1992, but ended it in 2005 (when he retired), that gives him 13 years. And now hes only been at Newcastle for a cople of months; that gives him 13 years and a few weeks of football management career.

B – Nobody got this one. It is Koeman, who is currently in charge at Valencia.

C – Wihout realizing, I gave a descriptio of Harry’s career. But, I was refering to AS Roma’s Luciano Spalletti. When he came at the club, it was in a downward spiral, but he lead them to 11 consecutive victories, and with the help of the Juve scandal, turned them into title contenders.

D – Yep, it is Martin Jol. The “nearly impossible” – was breaking the big fours stronghold on the top four spots.

E – The tough one. Your mind goes to Alex Ferguson, but the answer is, as Spiral mentioned, Guus Hiddink. The team he took to stardom: PSV with which he won titles in three different spells over 20 years and lead to European Cup glory in just his thrid year at the club.

F – Steve McClaren here. The world class manager was Sir Alex Ferguson and Macca was his assistant manager in 1999, before that and a bit after.

Well, hope you had fun!

A) can’t be Kevin Keegan can it? He’s been managing for more than 13 years easy…

Damn you Andrei! You evil genius…

Well… the only name that is not associated with the Premier League and has been metioned was Guus Hiddink, all the others have some ties with the PL…

Wow, I made this easier than I though I did, but I think that you are forgetting about football outside the Premier League…
