British football culture simply doesn’t produce good coaches. It’s not as bad as it was, but you hear the way Neville and Carragher talk about the game, they still think the game is about ‘getting stuck in and winning your headers’ and so on. It is what it is and some people love certain parts of British football culture, but for sure one thing it doesn’t do is produce great thinkers about the game. It’s actually hostile to intelligence and innovation.

[@Kuddochan]

The majority of all countries in the world use foreign managers, this is not something remotely unusual. Even amongst more established footballing nations it still happens, like Martinez coaching Portugal or Bielsa coaching Uruguay for example. Even the England women's team have a Dutch manager and no one had an issue with that. Also this narrative that Germany, Italy, or Spain wouldn't employ a foreign manager either, well that's obviously because they actually have a plethora of world class domestic managers to choose between so it's not an issue for them, not because the prospect of employing a foreigner is wrong by itself. England are not in that position. The only remotely qualified English manager for the job right now is probably Eddie Howe and he's already employed. If there really was a rule saying that coaches also had to be citizens of the country they're coaching in the same way that the players are, then sure. You could argue it'd be more authentic international football that way and I wouldn't be against that, but that is quite simply not the rule and it never has been. What's the point of spouting the idea that "the English manager is supposed to be an Englishman" when that is just factually wrong, that's just a norm you've made up for yourselves and not something that's ever been the standard for international football beyond that. It's an issue England have largely caused for themselves. First of all the Premier League has become more of an international league than any other league because it's the richest league, top class managers from all kinds of countries come to it for the fame and fortune. There are barely any English managers in the Prem, whereas the majority of the ones in the other top 5 leagues are from their respective countries. And the other big problem is the actual coaching licence in England costs a fortune compared to other countries which severely limits the amount of people that can even try to qualify to become coaches in the first place since it's so expensive.

I respectfully disagree. International competition is suppose to be the best of us vs the best of theirs, coaches included. Coaches play a key role in the performance and relatability of a national team. I'll make an example with our national Rugby coach. Russie Erasmus is South African through and through. We hear a South African accent at all pess conferences and the play style is South African. The whole country can rally behind that. May be an antiquated take but it's one I truly believe in. National pride. Our best vs their best!!! Thanks.

Martinez is Spanish... Portugal manager. Rangnick is German... Austria manager. Poch is Argentinian... USA manager. Neville, Carragher and co are absolute melts!

[@doctorjames4245]

Gary Gary Gary, you’re a failed manager and should just keep it shut when it comes to coaching debates.

[@ItsTheBoombox]

As an Irish person I agree with the media. Ye should give the job to Gerrard or Neville. Definitely not Tuchel, we'll gladly take him off your hands 🙃

[@ShampainxWoW]

They’d be head over heels if Pep took the job. The hypocrisy is maddening

[@MentalityGiant]

nope, he's not English either.

[@connorpayne3514]

My point of view is that we can have any manager as the rules allow. But I would want the coaching staff to be under the same rules for who they can coach as the players are for who they can play for. That should be the case in my opinion as it's then the best the nation can offer

[@ShinobiBen_]

Couldn't care about what the passport says. We've literally got a TOP manager in charge of England. People should be excited by what TT could do with this team!

[@connorbagnall9148]

don’t agree with you on this one goldbridge, think national team should have the same nationality manager

[@edd9632]

Irony is they would be all for it if it was Guardiola. It's solely because he's German!

[@Sean-d4p]

Absolutely spot on. That's exactly what it is. Have you got a problem with that?

[@edd9632]

@Sean-d4p As an guy with German heritage living in England, I'm all for it

[@Sean-d4p]

@edd9632 All for what..? Getting Guardiola in? Because that's what you were saying originally, and I told you that's exactly what it is. We wouldn't have had a problem if it had been Guardiola, because he's not German. There's a massive rivalry between our countries mate there always will be

Jude Bellingham has an Irish passport, don't see anyone complaining that he's representing England. People in this country are so xenophobic its saddening. Mark's right, English managers are awful. Eddie Howe might be the only decent candidate and he's unavailable, and even he hasn't won anything. Potter was obviously uncomfortable at Chelsea and couldn't handle the pressure. Gerrard, Lampard and Rooney are awful. Sean Dyche is obviously a no... Lee Carsley did win the under 21s Euros with England. I think that has credibility to it to be fair but he was useless in front of the media as well and lost to Greece so probably not the answer either.

[@MentalityGiant]

He got an Irish passport to get around Real Madrid's rulings for amount of non-EU players they're allowed. Try harder, troll.

[@IronmanMK85]

@@MentalityGiant I'm on a social media platform largely agreeing with the person in the video and yet I'm the troll? I don't know what's more saddening, the xenophobia in this country or the stupidity from the people in it. Not that I have to 'try harder' but okay, Jack Grealish and Declan Rice have both represented other national teams before choosing to play for England, don't see England fans complaining about that either.

The FA charging extortionate amounts of money for coaching badges is the reason we don't have enough coaches here, look at the numbers of qualified coaches in Spain, Germany etc where the cost of getting badges is SIGNIFICANTLY lower.

Yes it sounds logical but ppl don't watch international soccer for the coaches hence why there is no rule saying the coach has to be from the same country.
