Stuart Baxter

Stuart Baxter is football's eternal wanderer, and I mean that as a compliment. English-born of Scottish parentage, he played and managed across England, Scotland, Australia, Sweden, Norway, Portugal, Japan, South Africa, Turkey and India. That passport stamp collection reflects a coach genuinely curious about how the game is played everywhere. He had real success in Japan and managed South Africa's national team, which is no small CV. I'm drawn to journeymen who choose adventure over comfort; staying coachable enough to thrive in that many footballing cultures takes a humility most managers never develop.

Stuart William Baxter (born 16 August 1953) is an English-Scottish football coach and former player. Born in England of Scottish parentage, and brought up in both countries, Baxter played professionally for a number of clubs in England, Scotland, Australia, Sweden and in the United States. He has previously managed clubs in Sweden, Norway, Portugal, Japan, South Africa, Turkey and India.
