Like, I don't begrudge Cyprus for having a Greek manager, nor San Marino for having an Italian. Or, even setting aside cases like that of obvious cultural and linguistic ties, Kosovo having a Swiss manager. But Hungary seems a big enough traditional footballing nation not to have to hire an Italian; Bosnia with a Bulgarian is even odder -- coming from a decidedly lesser country on the hierarchy.


Absolutely. *

excuse for England to have a manager who isn't English. of course, I say this and my own nation (Canada) has a foreign manager. I can live with that double standard if Canada qualifies for the next world cup
English management pool isn't what it used to be, though

Look at the Prem managers.
I mean, they could always go back to their O'Leary
