I am of the opinion that major footballing nations should not hire foreign managers for their national teams.

Highly decorated - I was impressed by his work with Chelsea (they were fools to sack him).
However, his stint in Munich gives me pause. He seemed to clash a lot with higher management and the media - and there are few higher-pressure gigs than the England national team.

Cue chorus of "Ten German Bombers" in 10.9.8...
I myself am of the opinion that Scotland should never hire a Scottish manager. Diversity rawks!

Gareth Southgate looked more like a French waiter than an English anything. The point is to win trophies you're getting sports and results mixed up with politics. There's another forum for that type of thing. |

There's another forum for that type of thing. It's international sports. The whole point of international sports is that you put together a team of the best players your country has to offer, to play against the best that other countries have to offer. I am aware that the eligibility rules don't apply to managers, but in my personal opinion countries (especially the ones with a successful history and a deep talent pool, like Germany, Italy, England, France, Spain, Brazil and Argentina) should try to follow the same general principle also for managers, within reason. Nothing to do with politics. |
