Former
Liverpool striker on managing SC East Bengal, adapting to Indian life and why he is happy with the phrase ‘Fowlerball’
Robbie Fowler the player will always be associated with his home town of Liverpool but Robbie Fowler the manager has already moved from Bangkok to Brisbane to Bengal. This road less travelled may help the 45-year-old forge an identity as a coach strong enough to emerge from the shadow of that stellar playing career.
The journey started in late 2011 with a four-month acting player-manager spell in charge of Muangthong United in
Thailand. It was not long enough to get a sense of Fowler the manager but then there came a move to Brisbane Roar in April 2019.
