For no particular reason, I kinda prefer the manager of England to be English, though.

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?

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?

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.

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.
