This week on The Managers, Mick and Tony sit down with former Bradford City and Wigan Athletic boss, Paul Jewell — a man who found himself managing in the Premier League at just 34 years old.
Brought to you by BOYLE Sports.
Paul shares the highs, the headaches, and the hilarity of top-flight management in the 90s & 00s - from dealing with a hands-on chairman who fancied himself as a tactical mastermind (even against Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United), to being mistaken for a taxi driver by one of his own new signings.
He also reflects on his remarkable journey with Wigan Athletic, leading them from League One all the way to the Premier League - a true underdog story. And don’t miss what might just be the greatest Jose Mourinho anecdote you've ever heard.
