Gareth Southgate’s former England assistant Steve Holland takes job abroad The former Three Lions coach will move to the J.League with Yokohama F Marinos in a first job as a manager in 16 years after working as an assistant to Southgate after a spell with Chelsea.
Former England assistant coach Steve Holland has been named the new manager of Yokohama F Marinos, the J.League side said on Tuesday.
After a spell at Chelsea, Holland linked up with Gareth Southgate to work with England’s under 21s before the pair took over the senior national team in 2016.
The role is Holland’s first as a manager since a one-season spell in charge of Crewe Alexandra in the 2007-08 campaign, with the 54-year-old spending much of his subsequent career as an assistant.
“Our challenge is to win the title again,” Holland told the club’s official website.
