According to UEFA Coaching Convention Data from 2008 there were 895 A Licence Coaches in England. This data was presented in the Football Association's Discussion Document for Coaching 2008-2012. To put this into context the FA were looking at the status of coaching in this country compared to other European Nations. The following is a quote from the FA: "In comparison to our European counterparts, we do not place the same degree of importance on the status of coaching in this country. This must change if we are going to progress". By the way the FA looked at the number of A Licence coaches in other leading European nations - France has 2,400, Germany has 5,500, Italy 1,298 and Spain has 12,720 A Licence coaches. Make your own mind up as to why the England men's team have not won anything since 1966!
