English coaches for English jobs mate.

It really depends if some Frenchie or Spanish guy is dying for this job. Seeing as most wouldn't, nepotism is unlikely to take place anyways.

But yes, English coaches for English jobs, brexit means brexit etc.

Tbh I think international coaches should be from the same country. Always been weird to me that the rule only applies to the players, the whole point of the thing is you're sending your nation's best.

I can name you many countries where the head coach has nothing to do with the country and they were simply the best they could get.

Some due to lacking the infrastructure and expertise, some are just countries where football isn't the main sport and are more open to foreign expertise. The English shouldn't be so quick to narrow their recruitment pool anyways they could do with the help.

Bukayo Saka, who was the key player in helping Southgate reach both finals

You mean one final, right? He wasn't a key player 2021. And contributed with only 2 goals/assists in this tournament but the goal he scored was vital so you can say he was a key player.

Non of them have achieved anything. Well, Potter won the Swedish cup 7 years ago but the step from that to winning the World Cup is rather big.
Winning the Swedish Cup with Østersund was probably a bigger shock than winning the World Cup with England would ever be, but I take your point.

If they are hellbent on a domestic solution, I don't think there much to choose from. Howe will likely not leave Newcastle.

Not about the best for me, the whole point of international football is it's nation vs. nation and I think that should extend to staff as well. All the stuff you mentioned applies to players as well when you think about it.

It's also one of the only ways managers from many African and Asian nations could get a chance to manage players against top opposition and maybe make a name for themselves, could literally be a proper career starter for those guys like it is for many players who pop off at international tournaments.

Could get tricky with tense geopolitical relationships like the Balkans, former Soviet states and newly formed countries in Africa etc.

Also imagine telling Januzaj or whoever they couldn’t manage their true home nation because of who he represented etc.

Why is it different than being restricted as a player?

De La Fuente hadn’t done anything outside of youth trophies before becoming Spain manager

I've got the best goalkeeper and the best centre half. All I need are the best wingers and the best forward. It doesnt matter what the rest are like.
