I couldn’t care less personally, foreign managers of national teams have been a thing since the beginning and why handicap yourself when others won’t do the same?
However when England tried it they actually managed to handicap themselves with the couldn’t give a fuck at the time Fabio Capello. Remember the Capello Index?
and why handicap yourself when others won’t do the same?
Most do thought don’t they? The only nations that often hire foreign managers are the African nations no? Is there any major national team that had a foreign manager recently?
Oh ja! I don’t know why I forgot Martinez with Belgium/Portugal. Scolari was ages ago lol, may as well mention Capello at England too. Carlo may be the next one with Brazil.
Correlation not causation, the World Cup has only been won by countries with a rich history of football that means they’re capable of producing great managerial talent too.
That’s obviously not to say England is incapable of producing world class managers, but for various reasons English managers’ career progression is more limited in England.
For no particular reason, I kinda prefer the manager of England to be English, though.

but that speaks more to decision makers in the FA being a bunch of incompetents than it is an indictment on the foreign manager.
Ah. Down against Germany in a World Cup and deciding to being on Heskey
Because Heskey was class, yeah.
In 2010?
Class is eternal.

Last two I remember off the top of my head that weren’t for England are Martinez at Belgium and Phil Scolari at Portugal.
And now Tedesco for Belgium and Martinez for Portugal.

The world cup has never been won by a manager managing a country different to his own nationality
Greece didn’t win a World Cup but I’d still say it was a good deal to bring in a foreign manager
