Simon Grayson

Simon enjoyed a distinguished career as right-back, making over 100 Premier League appearances for Aston Villa and Leicester, with whom he won the League Cup in 1997. He is now one the most experienced managers in the business, having taken charge of almost 800 games in three different countries over the course of a 20-year career in the dugout. Promoted from League One with Blackpool, Huddersfield, Preston and boyhood club Leeds, he has recently broadened his horizons by managing Indian Super League side Bengaluru and guiding Lalitpur City to the Nepalese title. Simon’s regular column offers unrivalled insight into the mindset of an EFL manager - and he isn’t afraid to tackle the big issues.
