[Tokyo Blue]

Something to distract you all from penalty misses and negativity.

There are (I think 10) people who have played in the Premier League, managed in the Premier League and managed an international team (only senior team, not U21s or anything like that).

There's one name that I can't remember for the life of me, but I'm certain there are 9 others who have done it. There might even be one or two others that aren't on my list. Bonus pints for any extra names.

[lardy]

Mark Hughes
Gareth Southgate
Ryan Giggs
Gordon Strachan
Roberto Martinez (maybe didn't play)
Roberto di Matteo (scratch him, read Wikipedia wrong)

[lardy]

Hoddle

[ccfc_is_my_life]

Chris Coleman

Would Giggs count as managing in Prem given it was a caretaker role? Plus it was him, Scholes etc...

Mark Hughes
Gareth Southgate
Ryan Giggs
Gordon Strachan

Hoddle and Coleman - yup.

I was thinking about Giggs but didn't consider him for the list....

But go on then. I'm feeling generous. You can both have an extra pint

I was thinking Giggs wouldn't count...

Martin O'Neill

Well, I did specify 'pints' would be available in the OP so a pint you shall have.

Correct so far:
Hoddle, Hughes, Coleman, Southgate, Strachan and Giggs.

From my list, 5 more to go (plus pints for anyone who can think of any that I missed)

O'Neill never played in the PL, sadly. Keane only an assistant.

Ian Dowie

Never managed internationally.

Mick McCarthy?

Not sure if he played in the PL.

Not sure if he played in the PL.

He didn't I'm afraid. He was player manager at Millwall when the PL started.

Zola

Ah not done Italy

So let's have Roberto Mancini!

No to both, sadly. Zola only managed an Italy youth side and Mancini hasn't managed internationally.

5 more. They're all names people on here will know. I'll give out a couple of hints.
