Thomas Tuchel became the latest England manager earlier this month, the Football Association appointing the German as the permanent successor to Gareth Southgate.
However, back in 1977, it was Ron Greenwood who was agreeing to take over the reins as the Three Lions boss as they looked to win a second major title after the 1966 World Cup.
Greenwood had initially been placed in caretaker charge after Don Revie had failed to guide England to the 1978 World Cup, immediately faced with the task of picking up a team that were going through a lull.
Faced with a Euro 1980 qualification group that included Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Bulgaria and Denmark, England impressively breezed through to the Finals by accumulating 22 points from a possible 24.
Nevertheless, England would not progress past the group stage in Italy, finishing in third having been placed in a group containing Belgium, Italy and Spain.
England would edge through their qualification group for the 1982 World Cup, finishing second behind Hungary, and they started their tournament campaign in outstanding fashion with victories over France, Czechoslovakia and Kuwait in the first group stage.
In the second group stage, though, England were paired with West Germany and tournament hosts Spain, posting two goalless draws and missing out on the semi-finals.
Soon after the end of the tournament, Greenwood would retire from football, his reign with England reading 33 wins, 12 draws and 10 defeats from his 55 matches in charge.
On a day where Greenwood would have celebrated his birthday, Sports Mole takes the opportunity to challenge you to name every permanent England manager in history.
