James Tarkowski says Seamus Coleman is destined to become a manager
Tarkowski and Seamus Coleman sat down with Everton’s media team and played a game of most and least likely.
When the interviewer asked which Toffees star is most likely to become a manager, Tarkowski instantly pointed to Coleman.
Tarkowski: “If you asked everyone in our dressing room, they’d say you (Coleman).”
Coleman: “Let’s think…”
Tarkowski: “It’s you! I’ve had a think… it’s you.”

The question was then shifted to which Everton player is least likely to become a manager after their playing career.
Tarkowski was pretty certain about his selection.
Tarkowski: “Dwight (McNeil), Jimmy (Garner).”
Coleman: “You reckon Jimmy? He’s so young now though… it’s too early to say.”
Tarkowski: “Imagine Dwight trying to motivate a team of players though, I’m saying Dwight, sorry Dwight, I am.”
