England's first team manager was Walter Winterbottom. He was put in charge as soon as international football resumed after the war. Before that, the England side was picked by the FA International committee. He took the post as a 33-year-old and held it for 16 years during which time he took England to four World Cups.
His first match in charge was on 28 September 1946, a British Championship match at Windsor Park in Belfast. The result as Northern Ireland 2 England 7. It was the start of an impressive set of results for Winterbottom. In his 16 years in charge, England won 79 matches, drew 32 and lost 28. However, his reign did include the shock 1-0 defeat by the United States at the 1950 World Cup, as well as the famous 6-3 thrashing by Hungary in 1953 at Wembley.
Winterbottom was England's first, youngest and longest-serving coach/manager. He died, aged 89 in February 2002.
