Thomas Tuchel has just taken charge of his first two matches as England manager, guiding the Three Lions to victories over Albania and Latvia in World Cup qualifiers at Wembley Stadium.
However, back in 2006, Steve McClaren was appointed as England manager, reward for his famous stint with Middlesbrough where he led them to a UEFA Cup final.
With Luis Felipe Scolari having rejected the opportunity to replace Sven-Goran Eriksson, McLaren took the reins and was expected to lead England into Euro 2008.
Instead, failure to qualify for that tournament led to his reign lasting just 18 matches, a total of nine wins, four draws and five defeats being record.
England had been provided with a qualifying group featuring Croatia, Russia, Israel, Macedonia, Estonia and Andorra, but a goalless draw at home to Macedonia in his third competitive fixture set the tone.
A 2-0 defeat in Croatia and goalless draw in Israel would follow, putting England on the back foot, but a resurgence in the second half of the group led to the feeling that a trip to Russia could prove decisive.
Once England lost 2-1 in Moscow, it became apparent that a draw was needed against Croatia at Wembley Stadium to qualify, McClaren watching on in despair as their opponents opened up a 2-0 lead inside 14 minutes.
Although England got back on level terms, Mladen Petric's 77th-minute goal condemned England to the embarrassment of missing out on a major tournament for the first time since the 1994 World Cup, and they have qualified for every competition ever since.
After England's elimination was confirmed in the pouring London rain, McLaren was dubbed 'The Wally in the Brolly' and sacked the following day.
On a day when McClaren celebrates his 64th birthday, Sports Mole takes the opportunity to challenge you to name every permanent England manager in history.
