John Herdman’s incredible journey from lecturer and Sunderland youth coach to leading CAN to the FIFAWorldCup
Gareth Southgate will not be the only English manager leading a team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar… enter John Herdman.for 36 years and the man who has led them there was born in County Durham.You may ask, how did someone from the north east of England end up there? Via a ten-year stint in New Zealand of course.“I can’t believe I’m saying that.
There is certainly opportunity there for Herdman’s side to cause a few shocks, after all Belgium and Croatia both have ageing squads.Canada have a spine of talent that fans will recognise from the Champions League, led by Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies and superstar Lille striker Jonathan David. Plus the likes of Cyle Larin, who was the top scorer in qualifying, who is at Club Brugge, and Stephen Eustaquio at Porto.
His life was pretty settled as he was lecturing at Northumbria University in the Sports Science department while also coaching the likes of Jordan Henderson at the then Premier League club’s academy.However, as Herdman had never played professional football he felt like he’d hit his ceiling. Then a chance came to head to New Zealand.
“I worked all my way from being a regional development officer to the technical director of that country, while at the same time running the women’s team.
