Beyond England |
|
Club(s) |
After
unceremoniously ditching the England manager's position in
July 1977, he sold his story to the Daily Mail that he has
resigned, before the Football Association had received his
letter of resignation, Revie went on to become coach of United
Arab Emirates, a position held until July 1980. From which he
went to coach Al-Nasr from 1980 to 1984, and Egypt's Al-Ahly
in 1984-85. |
|
Individual honours |
Football
Association Hall of Fame 2002. |
|
Distinctions |
Banned from
football for 10 years for attempting to deceive the Football Association
into buying out his England national team managerial contract when he
had secretly accepted the United Arab Emirates national team coaching
position, but the ban was overturned in court for bias of the Football
Association hearing officer. |
