Might stick a few quid on this, not sure why the FA insist England must have an English manager but hey-ho.

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?

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?

but that speaks more to decision makers in the FA being a bunch of incompetents than it is an indictment on the foreign manager.
