British managers trying to succeed abroad

Andy Mitten

Gary White

Now 39, his playing career ended 17 years ago, but he became a graduate of the English Football Association’s elite coaches programme. He is manager of Guam, a US-administered Pacific island with a population of 200,000. His aim is to break into Fifa’s top 150 — a jump of 56 places. Previously coached British Virgin Islands and Bahamas.

Steve Kean

The former Blackburn Rovers manager, 48, has agreed to become manager of Singaporean S-League side Brunei DPMM for the 2014 season, that begins in February, as the Scotsman, picture above, seeks to rebuild his reputation after a tough time at Ewood Park.

Stuart Baxter

The Wolverhampton-born coach is in charge of Kaiser Chiefs in South Africa. Previous jobs include the Finland and South Africa national teams, England Under 19s and five Swedish clubs.

Brian Deane

The former Sheffield United striker, 45, scored the first Premier League goal, back in 1992. He is now coaching at Norway top-flight club Sarpsborg 08, whom he recently kept in the top flight despite having the smallest squad and playing budget in the league.
