Steve Bruce is not only a tried and tested manager we can add that he has invaluable experience that is vital for a league as competitive as the Premier league.
However it is also worth noting that women’s football is quite competitive at the top end with many teams now playing high levels of football.
Why this is important is because Jill Ellis has managed to when the World Cup twice. Many of these games being by definition high pressure as they are knock out games.
The US Women have had to prove their metal against strong opposition such as Scandinaviansside notoriously good, England and the Netherlands to name a few.
To add to this compelling argument, I would bring to the readers attention, the Scolari era Chelsea that featured Portuguese maestro Deco. This team managed to pepper opposition goals in the early parts of the season before running out of steam.
Perhaps that is the drawback of playing in a knockout setup rather than a grueling 38 game season.
On the part of Premier league experience, I would argue that Antonio Conte came with a different idea, 3 defenders at the back that completely caught the oppositions off guard. Jurgen Klopps high intensity fast counter attacking football has seen Liverpool reach heights last seen in 2005 and the eighties..
For these reasons alone I feel she would being a very interesting approach to the game. As new ideas have prove to do.
On a final note, I would highlight comments from Maurizio Sarri were he alluded to his feeling that Serie A was tactically superior than the Prem. He is of the mind that finance is the only defining factor in premier league renown and its a compelling case. If you compare his resources at Napoli as opposed to Chelsea.
The US women’s team selection pool is vast as the women’s game is very popular. I am presenting the case that with premier league resources a tactically adept coach is capable of putting together a team with definitive style.
End note she would thrive!!!
