Summary

Chris has landed an exciting new gig - and this time, he's teaming up with managerial heavyweights Mick McCarthy and Tony Pulis! Introducing The Managers - a brand-new weekly show that takes you inside the dugout like never before. Because let’s face it: only a football manager truly knows what it’s like to be one. Each week, Mick and Tony bring their decades of experience to the table, breaking down the biggest talking points in the game. From tactical trends and touchline drama to what’s working, what’s not - and what they’d do differently - nothing is off limits. They’ll also be sitting down with fellow managers from across the football pyramid, digging into the highs, lows, and untold stories of life in the hot seat. Honest, insightful, and occasionally explosive - The Managers is essential listening for anyone who loves the beautiful game from the inside out.
