Stephen "Steve" McClaren (born May 3, 1961 in Fulford , York ) is a former English football player and current coach .
Adolescence
McClaren attended Nunthorpe Grammar School, which is known for giving a high priority to active school sports. McClaren was also very athletic at the time, cycling 10 miles a day to his school and actively playing squash , emulating his very talented father there. Other sports McClaren played were rugby and tennis . However, he was able to celebrate his breakthrough in football when he made it to a youth selection in the county of Yorkshire . He then joined the youth department of the Hull City club in 1977 at the age of 16 .
Player career
During his playing career, the midfielder McClaren acted mostly in the lower professional leagues. After joining Hull City, he played for Derby County , on loan for Lincoln City and then for Bristol City and Oxford United until an injury in 1990 forced him to retire.
Coaching career
Starts as a reserve and assistant trainer
Shortly after hanging up his boots, McClaren began his coaching career with the Oxford United reserve team, where Jim Smith was the coach at the time . In 1995 he was promoted to assistant coach of the first team, then followed Smith in his move to Derby County and assisted this also with his new club. In December 1998 he accepted an offer from Manchester United , where he succeeded Brian Kidd as assistant coach to Sir Alex Ferguson . In the back series he did not lose a game with Manchester and then won the triple of the English championship, FA Cup and Champions League .
Middlesbrough FC
In the summer of 2001, Middlesbrough FC president Steve Gibson offered him the job of head coach. McClaren took on the task and reached the FA Cup semi-finals with his new team in the first season , but where he lost 1-0 to Arsenal FC . In 2004 he won with Middlesbrough after a final victory against the Bolton Wanderers at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff with the League Cup, the first trophy in the club's history and thus also qualified for the first time for a European club competition. He then signed internationally experienced players, for example Ray Parlor from Arsenal, and came with his team in the Premier League 2004/05 to seventh place in the table, which was the highest Premier League placement in the club's history and the renewed qualification for the UEFA Cup brought in. In the 2005/06 FA Cup , McClaren reached the cup semi-finals again with Middlesbrough FC and even reached the final in the 2005/06 UEFA Cup , in which they lost 4-0 to Sevilla FC in May 2006 .
English national team
In addition to his work as a club coach, McClaren was also Sven-Göran Eriksson's assistant in the English national team. He has been in this position since 2000, when Peter Taylor worked briefly as England coach on an interim basis.
On January 23, 2006, the English federation announced that Eriksson would no longer look after the English national team after the 2006 World Cup in Germany . McClaren then developed alongside Luiz Felipe Scolari , Martin O'Neill , Sam Allardyce and Alan Curbishley to one of the Football Association (FA) preferred successor candidates. After a lengthy selection process, as a result of which Scolari withdrew his interest, McClaren was appointed the new England coach on May 4, 2006. His four-year contract began on August 1, 2006.
McClaren's election was met with criticism and approval. While Alan Hansen criticized the length of the selection process and suggested that Middlesbrough FC's good performance in reaching the UEFA Cup final was the main factor in the personnel decision, other experts, including Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Trevor Brooking , supported the decision Decision of the FA.
After missing qualification for the European Football Championship in 2008 , the contract with McClaren was terminated on November 22, 2007. During his 15-month activity he did not succeed in forming the team into a unit.

Finally, at Christmas, the team found themselves in 13th place, just four points ahead of the relegation place. On December 22nd, they were eliminated in the DFB Cup against the second division club Energie Cottbus . After just one win in the first four games of the second half of the season, the Englishman was given a leave of absence from the club's board on February 7, 2011.
