England stars Jack Grealish and Harry Maguire participated in a lighthearted video for the national team’s YouTube channel, where they rated their teammates' potential to become future coaches.
Top picks included Trent Alexander-Arnold and Maguire himself. However, Phil Foden’s chances were ranked among the lowest—until they turned their attention to Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, and the fun truly began.
Grealish burst into laughter and immediately suggested Palmer should be ranked at the very bottom. Maguire took it a step further, placing Palmer’s photo on the floor beneath the ranking board. Grealish jokingly declared, “Cole has absolutely no chance of being a manager—it’s just not happening.”
Eventually, they settled on placing Palmer alongside Foden at the lowest tier, but it was clear neither of them could envision Palmer in a managerial role.
Despite the playful banter from his England teammates, Cole Palmer continues to shine on the pitch. The former Manchester City player is thriving at Chelsea, emerging as one of the standout performers in the Premier League this season.
