Jez George is one of the most popular and richest English football manager who was born on January 24, 1970 in England, United Kingdom. Jeremy “Jez” George (born on the 24th of January, 1970) is an ex- English football manager who served as the Chief Executive Officer of Cambridge United in the Football League Two. The former Cambridge United manager was also an important member within the Cambridge United Youth & Community Trust. He was hailed by many as “the heart and soul” of the club by former England international Dion Dublin. He is currently the Director of football for English League One side Lincoln City.
Protect Football’s Future was launched in April of 2010 as an alliance between six league clubs that were once part of the league that include Wrexham, Oxford United, York City, Rushden & Diamonds, Mansfield Town and Cambridge United – to oppose the FA’s funding regulations, which they considered unfair, and also to create the postcode lottery. To promote the event, George undertook a 19-day walk of 410 miles between April and May of 2010 starting from Wrexham up to Wembley to raise money and raise awareness about the campaign. The “Walk for Change,” more than 3000 signatures were obtained on a petition, including the current and former Premier League players Dave Kitson, Danny Murphy, Curtis Davies and Jack Collison among those pledging their support.
George set about reshaping the team prior to the 2011–12 season in order to meet budget cuts, which saw a 25% reduction in the club’s playing budget. A number of the club’s highest earners, including former assistant manager Paul Carden and the previous season’s top scorer Danny Wright, left the club as George implemented a disciplined wage structure: “the players who were over the wage ceiling…were quite categorically told the options they had to them were to take a pay cut and discuss what that would be or to find another club”.
When Martin Ling left Cambridge United on 1 February 2011 after 87 games in charge, George took over as caretaker manager of the first team, initially until the end of the 2010–11 season. After successfully guiding the team to safety from relegation, his position was made permanent at the end of the season.
Through his involvement in the Trust as well as his role as the manager for Cambridge Regional College, George became involved in the funding of youth football. Due to its status as an unleague club, Cambridge United receives no money through the Football League Youth Development scheme despite its history of accomplishment in producing players for its first team and for other clubs. Indeed the youth program of the club is widely regarded in the professional soccer world as being one of the top in England. George’s very first fundraising effort took him between Torquay up to Cambridge to bring attention to the injustice regarding the rules of funding which allowed Torquay United receive PS180,000 for their youth team after their win against Cambridge United in the 2009 play-off final. The walk was a success as George together with center of excellence boss Matt Walker, cover 260 miles and raise PS40,000 in the running costs of Cambridge’s youth squads.

When he joined Cambridge United from local rivals Cambridge City, George became the first manager of Cambridge Regional College, a team which was established by the college in 2006. It was a reserve team. FA regulations prohibit reserve teams that play at certain levels of the pyramid. The CRC name was chosen to honor the financial backing of the college and also because the team is comprised nearly entirely of scholars.
George was the coach for several years with great successes both in and off the field as it established its place as a member of the Eastern Counties Football League, finishing runners-up between 2008 and 2009 and again in 2009-2010, and producing many players who went into the Cambridge’s first team, including Josh Coulson, Robbie Willmott and Luke Berry.
George was integral in setting up the Cambridge United Youth & Community Trust, which was formed in March 2010 to provide sport and learning activities for children in Cambridge and the surrounding area. Its mission statement is “to positively influence the lifetime potential of 10,000 children annually through sport”, which it seeks to achieve through operating football courses and a Centre of Excellence, alongside more traditional education courses which it runs out of its state of the art Learning Centre at the Abbey Stadium.
