Liverpool legend Fowler eager to jump into management

Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler believes it is ridiculous that he cannot land managerial roles in England.

The former striker was known as one of the most fearsome attackers during his time in the Premier League.

However, he has only coached in India, Australia and Thailand, and has yet to secure a head coaching job in his home country.

Speaking to BettingOdds.com, Fowler said: "Hopefully, it is. In this game we're in I don't think you ever really know what's around the corner: that could be being sacked or getting the next job. Once you are actually on the managerial merry-go-round it's a little bit easier!

"What I have been told so far, and I think it's absolutely ridiculous, is that I'm not really experienced in this country. I can't understand that. I have managed in three different countries, so you're learning daily about different teams, cultures, and methods. It's not as though I'm new to it. I have every single coaching badge: the highest Pro License you can have.

"I'm currently doing an LMA diploma which is level with the Pro License. I think I've just got to show people that I'm dedicated to my passion, which is football. I've just got to wait. I'll keep looking, but in all honesty it's a bit frustrating so if I need to go overseas again, then I'll do that because I feel as though I've got a lot to give."
