Zealand - I’d say having a ‘lightbulb head’ is a compliment brother. It means you’re bright and you share your a spark of joy with the rest of the world. Now that’s electric!
I'd honestly find it interesting for someone on RUclips to do this. Like see how difficult it actually is to become a licenced UEFA coach. There are some really terrible managers out there in the world so it surely cannot be that difficult to get your coaching badges.
@@jaden_shah There are a whole lot of very low level clubs in the world. I'm sure you could find one who'd employ someone for this basis even just for the additional publicity of a well known RUclipsr making this series. Being the club that hired them for their video would be worth something for them so they could get their badges.
I am imagining FA telling some of the players that a new national coach has been hired and then explaining who that is. At very least, they could do a hidden camera on the subject.
I imagine Jose sitting at his laptop filling this in. Qualifications: Special One. Experience: [just puts the link to his wikipedia page]. Strengths: Special One. Weaknesses: tolerating disrespect (3 for me, 2 for them, respect).
Need a series going over the hidden comments. Some of them are pure gold! Imagine thinking calling someone a lightbulb head is an insult. Thats a compliment afaik, it means you are so bright and smart that you can light up a room!
Also signed up! My mom is a kindergarden teacher and I was there one day as a volunteer - seems like enough disciplinary experience to me. May the best coach win!
It's a legal requirement in the UK to post all jobs publicly. Incase there's someone within the existing structure who wanted to apply but couldn't becuse the FA already know they want Potter
I swear this is why you sometimes get the ridiculous "minimum wage, PhD required" jobs. They aren't actually minimum wage, they don't really want a PhD, they just already have someone they are giving it to and they want to get rid of as many applicants as possible so they can save on interview time.
Imagine Peter Drury saying: “An unfamiliar face in the realm of professional football. Quite the internet sensation, however. The new manager of the England national football team, Zealand Shannon, making history by making his professional managerial debut, as the manager of this prestigious national team. This is no longer a game anymore.” Or something. Peter Drury would say it way more poetic.

Back in 2023, I tried applying for the Tuvalu manager job, and even got it for a few hours, until they actually asked for my coaching licence and experience. I still have that original e-mail by which they accepted me framed in my living room. The funniest part is that I only applied so I can take my ex from back then with me, halfway across the globe so she can't hang out with her annoying friends anymore and hopefully never talk to them again 😂😂 And I got so damn close
Here's another loophole for you @zealand - Not having a UEFA Pro badge doesn't stop you from being a European manager/coach, they will just fine the team for every game that you attend as manager. For reference, please review Will Stills incredible stint at every club he ends up as head coach, legend. BTW, your head is not weird, and you produce amazing content, keep up the great work.
It's legally required for them to post it even if theres no intention of hiring anyone using it. All jobs in the UK have to be posted publicly in some fashion.
Congratulations on the job! I live in Burton-on-Trent. We have a spare room for now (the baby isn't due until December) and I'm sure my wife wouldn't mind you living with us.
I once applied to the Tottenham job 26 years ago! I didn’t expect to get a letter back but I did with them saying they would “consider” me in it! Good luck bro.
I look forward to his first in-game shout "Demand more" with the players running around totally confused about what he means until the next set piece situation occurs.
The FA should obviously do this. Hire Zealand on a one-match contract. Arrange a friendly with San Marino. And we have the unbeatable England head coach track record with a 100% win-rate...
No, seriously, can't wait until you make your first coaching badge and start to manage some local school soccer team, could be fun and could actually be the way to manage in MLS or Europe. Let's go Zealand you got this!
Wowee Zealand, I hope you get the job! after you saved my dog from that burning building I dont know who else would have the courage needed to be the manager for England's national team!
If you dont get the England job Id love to see you manage Wrexham. You and Ryan Reynolds' giving a joint cup final half time team talk to fire up the boys would be RUclips gold
I've had many great jobs with large companies. I lied on my resumes and nailed the interviews. They rarely ask about your former allegedly-held positions, and if they do, it's easy to gloss over the details with some basic "blah, blah."
I actually spoke about how amazing it would be to create an actual CV with a football manager profile to apply for actual jobs after a discussion about some horrific job applications and lies on CV's! At least it would stand out and surely gets you an interview for being different and if not then whatever company ignore you do not deserve your time.
Before match: I'm depending on you During the march: encourage shouts During Halftime: Lets play soccer! During match: more shouts increase intense After Match: That'll do
I feel like you should have added a screenshot of your team tactics & selection you would use an England manager. Imagine you were actually offered the position 🙂
I did this many years ago.. I got a nice automated email saying my, and many other, applications were "under consideration".. probably considered an absolute moron but I still appreciated it
Finally, a manager who can use the holiday button when the going gets tough
Arent all players technically loaned by the national team from the clubs?
My assistant won several Manager of the month 😅
Fastest way to complete a season.
The Ted Cruz Button
Stop commenting on this vid 😭😭
Cant wait for his halftime pep talk: "According to my FM stats, we need to press more"😂😂😂😂
Zealand: 'For the fans.'
Players motivated walk out.
The fans: [content can't be printed due to obsenity].
They should give Zealand a 1 game contract and let him manage in a friendly
Why stop at a friendly, let him manage the World Cup final
Let him try with the USA team first and see how it goes. Then England can try him out if goes well.
That’s what we call an Allardyce
@@robbiestrong6398 if England can actually make one
@@ExplosiveDonut10England literally have a world cup brother
I can already imagine Zealand sending his Assistant manager for every Press Conference
Assistant manager will always be question bombed each time lol
Zealand - I’d say having a ‘lightbulb head’ is a compliment brother. It means you’re bright and you share your a spark of joy with the rest of the world. Now that’s electric!
Suddenly, I feel enlightened. It's glorious!
A shocking point of view. 😁
"So we're drawing 0-0 in the 70th minute what do you do?"
"I shout encourage".
Throw water bottle
Bend the knee
A series where Zealand uses some of those big RUclips dollars and actually gets a UEFA pro license is something I’d watch.
I'd honestly find it interesting for someone on RUclips to do this. Like see how difficult it actually is to become a licenced UEFA coach. There are some really terrible managers out there in the world so it surely cannot be that difficult to get your coaching badges.
@@Noobie2k7connections help a lot because u need to spend time coaching, etc
Would be amazing to see a yter actually become a professional football manager.
That would be so cool but unfortunately you need to be employed by a club and coaching full time to be eligible for most badges.
@@jaden_shah There are a whole lot of very low level clubs in the world. I'm sure you could find one who'd employ someone for this basis even just for the additional publicity of a well known RUclipsr making this series.

At least now we know Zealand can reload a save if things start going bad
Congrats on the job (application)
Imagine the scenes when the FA go "Fuck it, we're waiting 12 months for Pep you get 4 games" 😂
I am imagining FA telling some of the players that a new national coach has been hired and then explaining who that is. At very least, they could do a hidden camera on the subject.
The brass balls of submitting this application - seriously hope that the FA is good humoured enough to respond.

I've never heard that before, it doesn't even sound like an insult. Immediately sounds like a person with ideas, more than Southgate had.
"In an alternate universe" most certainly did me in 🤣
Also signed up! My mom is a kindergarden teacher and I was there one day as a volunteer - seems like enough disciplinary experience to me. May the best coach win!
Why would you do that? you can't loan players as an National team manager
Well in a sense all your players are on loan from their parent clubs.
Does the Republic of Ireland U-21 count as a feeder club?

@@TempusFugit366that makes so much sense
somehow i believe Zealand is not the only football managers players that really applying for the job

Wait, his name is actually Zealand?

It’s nice to see your family continues to be supportive of your channel Z.

Lmao this is a crazy story, get that coaching license bro, it might work next time around 😊
Bro any prof?
If they hire you I'll be cheering for England at the 2026 World cup for the first time in my entire life.
Same
I think it’ll be most peoples first time, considering 2026 is a good year and a half away still…
People who hate generally have a lot wrong with themselves and tend to project. Keep up the awesome work.
Love how it turned into reading mean comments vid😂
If you by some unforeseen misfortune dont get the job. Do a England Men´s Senior Head Coach career. Prove them wrong!!
Here's another loophole for you @zealand - Not having a UEFA Pro badge doesn't stop you from being a European manager/coach, they will just fine the team for every game that you attend as manager. For reference, please review Will Stills incredible stint at every club he ends up as head coach, legend. BTW, your head is not weird, and you produce amazing content, keep up the great work.
England fans: Where's the manager for this game?
Our manager doesn't attend friendlies that's just madness
"My name is Zealand..." Love it! ;-)
How funny that they have an actual job advert.
It's legally required for them to post it even if theres no intention of hiring anyone using it. All jobs in the UK have to be posted publicly in some fashion.
Congratulations on the job! I live in Burton-on-Trent. We have a spare room for now (the baby isn't due until December) and I'm sure my wife wouldn't mind you living with us.
you are actually doing this! hilarious, i think i love you!
4:13 love the idea of highlighting Romero as an adversary on your resume for England manager
Only one correction, you didn't win all those titles in an alternate universe, you won them in a state-of-the-art simulation
When in thought, just hit 'pause' and think it out.... Oh wait....😅😅😅
Gareth Southgate and Tottenham are a match made in heaven 💀💀💀
Zealand's first action as England Manager: trying to loan Lamine Yamal 😅
Second action: trying to force sell Jack Grealish.
Lightbulb comment cracked me! Zealand head does actually look like a lightbulb.
Ok, light bulb head is actually a top tier new meme
Cant wait for Zealand Encouraging England players at 00:01
"Your hairline is a fucking joke" 😂😂😂😂😂
It doesn’t say it can’t be on Football Manager… Z bro you have the job nailed on.
Hats off Zealand on handling that pathetic hate towards you. Your unique just like the rest of us why we love you !
15 minutes in to his first game, the entire English nation is baffled as head coach Zealand starts yelling "ENCOURAGE!!!" from the sidelines
I once applied to the Tottenham job 26 years ago! I didn’t expect to get a letter back but I did with them saying they would “consider” me in it! Good luck bro.
Can’t wait for him to make the video “I saved England’s save in real life.”
5:55 is 100% Work the Space's burner haha
I look forward to his first in-game shout "Demand more" with the players running around totally confused about what he means until the next set piece situation occurs.
Like a "Road to GM" series, Id watch Zealand's Road to a Coaching License
Not you Zealand but give it to Kev, he would win us a trophy
The FA should obviously do this. Hire Zealand on a one-match contract. Arrange a friendly with San Marino. And we have the unbeatable England head coach track record with a 100% win-rate...
The FA should bring Zealand in for an interview. I'm not joking.
It do be looking like a lightbulb
Hahaha, fingers crossed for your application 🎉
I applied for the England job aswell with only the image of my Woking sextuple
I heard that this is how southgate got his job
No, seriously, can't wait until you make your first coaching badge and start to manage some local school soccer team, could be fun and could actually be the way to manage in MLS or Europe. Let's go Zealand you got this!
Wowee Zealand, I hope you get the job! after you saved my dog from that burning building I dont know who else would have the courage needed to be the manager for England's national team!
The lightbulb-head comment had me dying
Damn, I wish he gets the job 😂🔥
Having anything to do with Tottenham, instantly rules you out. Thanks for the application though 😂
I did this a few years ago with my local team, I got a kit (as well as being told to not apply again).
Zealand the most underrated football head coach ever. he would legit win trophies with da real tottenham
They gonna get flooded with Zealand endorsement emails! 😂
zealand's head actually does look like a lightbuld lmao, cant wait to see zealand, england manager
If you dont get the England job Id love to see you manage Wrexham. You and Ryan Reynolds' giving a joint cup final half time team talk to fire up the boys would be RUclips gold
I've had many great jobs with large companies. I lied on my resumes and nailed the interviews. They rarely ask about your former allegedly-held positions, and if they do, it's easy to gloss over the details with some basic "blah, blah."
perfect candidate. i think they have an only one weird shaped head rule though, and kanes currently got that spot locked.
you have my support. cheerz
I am English.
I want Zealand as England Manager.
the lightbulb roast was craaaaaazy true
If sacchi could go from a shoe salesman to one of the greatest coaches in history, you can become one of the best as well
5:55 lmao he got roasted😂😂
They can close the application window now. There's no need to wait until the 2nd August. Get Zealand in the door FA!!
'in an alternate universe' was so funny
Would like you see Zealand take an actual coaching badge.
Imagining England doing 4-2-3-1 gegenpressing in real life would have been absolute scenes
I actually spoke about how amazing it would be to create an actual CV with a football manager profile to apply for actual jobs after a discussion about some horrific job applications and lies on CV's!
At least it would stand out and surely gets you an interview for being different and if not then whatever company ignore you do not deserve your time.
wow.. I will be behind you and support you LOL
Another fantastic vid from Nathan Jones long lost brother.
You won't be able to unsee it either now.
Harry Redknapp got an interview but kind of let himself down when his first question was “So, what kind of transfer budget are we talking about?”.
Before match: I'm depending on you
During the march: encourage shouts
During Halftime: Lets play soccer!
During match: more shouts increase intense
After Match: That'll do
All it takes is a prayer to the FM Gods, and you can get past the final hurdle and win in the finals of a major trophy. Z got it all figured out
FA- How many seasons of managerial experience do you have?
Zealand- Thousands
The perfect job for Zealand, as all other clubs technically "Loan" you their players. A full squad of loanees, time to live the dream.
You're awesome Zealand
The editor's "I'm not" made me laugh haha
Ngl It surprises me that a club hasnt approached a FM RUclipsr to have. Go at real management FM is so detailed these days its practically experience
because they don't have real football experience, there are a lot of people who played fm and became staff at football clubs, just not youtubers
It's a done deal mate, these facts are set in granite. No way they can turn you down!
I feel like you should have added a screenshot of your team tactics & selection you would use an England manager. Imagine you were actually offered the position 🙂
I'll hold a UEFA Pro License, just hand it to me
I did this many years ago.. I got a nice automated email saying my, and many other, applications were "under consideration".. probably considered an absolute moron but I still appreciated it
They should hire you just to show everyone that even when you have a lightbulbhead, nothing is impossible.
To be Honest Never thought about a light bulb But now i can see why you always have good ideas XD
Love your shirt!😂😂😂😂😂😂(im a fan of that team)
I would be honoured to have Zealand manage my country, Zealand for England!
I hope they actually hire you id love to see you as our manager
Lightbulb head 🤣
We need that Kurt motivational speech 😂😂😂😂
Insert that scene from Mike Bassett here where they are discussing and dismissing candidates, that's all I can think of
Where we are 2 nil down to the Mexicans England lost the game 4-0
