Quiz question...but I don't have the answer

[Shade]

I've tried looking online (briefly) for this one.

Who has been the longest serving International manager in world football in one continuous spell?
Also, if there has been somebody in charge of a national team for longer than that in two or more spells, who?

I don't know about overall, but Walter Winterbottom was England manager for 16 years (1946-1962). He was also England's first official manager.

Yes, I have Winterbottom at 16 years and Lars Lagerback (Sweden) 9 years (4 as co-manager and 5 as solo manager). Other than that I'm not sure.

I couldn't tell you his name without wikipedia, but manager of San Marino has been around for a fair few years.

Giampaolo Mazza

been there over 15 years - I think it was mentioned when England played San Marino earlier in the year. Something like a 1% win rate as well LOL.
