. Brian Barry-Murphy
The 44-year-old Irishman had a good career as a player with Preston, Sheffield Wednesday and Bury before going into management with Rochdale. Impressed a very watchable brand of football on Dale but couldn’t keep them in League One. Has since worked as manager of Manchester City’s elite development centre nurturing their galaxy of young talent. Photo: Morgan Harlow

. Matt Gill
Currently assistant manager to Russell Martin with Swansea in the Championship. The former Peterborough, Norwich and Exeter midfielder has worked at Tranmere and as Norwich under-23 boss before joining Paul Lambert at Ipswich. Will know Andy Cullen from their time at MK Dons where he linked up with Martin. Photo: Simon Galloway

. Ben Dawson
Highly-regarded first-team coach at Newcastle United, who was recruited from the FA in 2014. Became head of coaching in 2019, before moving into the senior group. Took caretaker charge of the Magpies on their 2019 pre-season tour and has a good reputation in the game. Photo: Nathan Stirk

5. Ryan Mason
Tottenham's first-team coach was forced to retire at the age of 26 with a fractured skull. Still just 31, but has picked up plenty of experience in the Londoner's ranks as head of player development and now first-team coach. Also had a period as interim head coach in 2021. Photo: Paul Harding

6. Eric Ramsay
The Welshman may be just 30, but he is already thought of as one of the brightest coaches in the game. Has held roles as Swansea's under-18 coach and Shrewsbury first-team coach, along with Chelsea and the Welsh international set-up. Moved to Manchester United last year and sees to be on the way to big things. Photo: Matthew Peters

7. Mark Bonner
Has done exceptionally well with Cambridge. That’s led to the 37-year-old being linked with a string of jobs and was high up in the running for the Luton post last year with the bookies. Earned promotion with the U’s from League Two, established them in the third tier and took the scalp of Newcastle in the FA Cup last season. Photo: Nigel French

8. Billy Reid
Graham Potter’s sidekick, who has been beside the highly-touted Chelsea boss in roles in Sweden, Swansea, Brighton and now at Stamford Bridge. Had management experience in Scotland with Clyde and took Hamilton to the SPL, earning the Scottish manager of the year gong in the process. Photo: Mike Hewitt
