Pep next England manager? Or Tuchel!

Obviously not all sports, but it’s understandable in a lot of them.

Can’t see this happening. England manager should be English anyway.

You joke, but I’m serious. I don’t think international managers should be allowed to come from another nation. It defeats the point of international football.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I tend to agree with this too. It’s prevalent in all sports nowadays though.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s more understandable in sports that aren’t football, though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

For what reasons? It’s more accepted but I’m not sure it’s more understandable.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Numbers. Take cricket and rugby as an example. Talent, money and expertise is far more concentrated in fewer hands, where international level is usually still seen as the pinnacle, than it is in football.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

True but those two examples, it’s that concentrated within particular countries too that you’d think they’d be able to find domestic coaches capable of coaching their international teams. Those are two sports that I thought should be more similar to football.

Something like Athletics I understand more.

For the major nations in those sports I kind of get that, but obviously it’s been normalised for them to all work elsewhere. But even then, it’s obviously become a bit of a manager merry go round for the major nations when there’s a small number of coaches across the board, so it’s not surprising even the major ones see foreigners coaching them.

Obviously athletics is a more obvious example.

Yes that’s what I mean by it’s more accepted. It a bit as if those countries don’t have a high quantity of coaches though, it’s that like you say there’s a select few seen as the pinnacle that then do the rounds.

Personally, I do think if someone thinks a national coach should be from that nation, which I tend to err on they should, there’s no real reason that shouldn’t apply to cricket or rugby either.

For me, it’s the concept of someone coaching a different national team that then plays their own nation that has always just felt odd to me! Always think it in the rugby in particular.

*it’s not as if those countries don’t have a high quantity of coaches, that should have said

I think the issue is that when there’s fewer numbers in the game in general that it’s just natural that it’s going to happen. Especially when England and Australia have controlled cricket for so long. They’re sharing them across the whole sport. Can’t speak on rugby as much. I don’t think football has quite the same challenges. Agree on the playing side of things, even though I did love KP.

there is less than a 0% chance that Pep takes the England job

He’ll probably stay out of football until FFP rules change and he can start dominating with Newcastle instead.

Arteta would be a good fit for England.


He can share his experience on missing out every year.
