Howard Wilkinson will step down as chairman of the League Managers’ Association (LMA) at the end of the season, marking the end of an era.
The former Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday boss was a driving
force behind the creation of the organisation in 1991, which emerged from an
idea he hatched with Graham Taylor, then the England manager.
Now 80, Wilkinson has been in the chair for close to 33
years, central to its expansion and evolution to represent its managers and
coaches in the modern game.
In particular, introducing the regular health and wellbeing
check-ups and support services.
