English football is short of good native coaches

From the outside, things look great for English football. The Premier League is, for the vast majority, the best league in the world. It has strong teams and a promising crop of young players. However, there are growing concerns about the lack of managers in England, especially since Thomas Tuchel took charge.

It’s not just an England problem, the Premier League itself is suffering. In fact, no English-born manager has lifted the title since the Premier League began. You have to go back to the 1991-92 season to find the last one to do so: Howard Wilkinson with Leeds United.

Since then, one Scot, one Frenchman, one Portuguese, four Italians, one Chilean, one Spaniard and one German have won the Premier League... but no Englishmen.

Wilkinson himself told the Daily Mail about the crisis: "I don't see any solution."

Furthermore, he analyzed this strange story with a curious metaphor: "It became a golden age of Hollywood. If you were a good actor or artist, the best thing to do was to go to Hollywood, where they paid the most money and produced the best movies."

There are currently only three English managers working in the Premier League and only one of them has managed a team in the top 14. Eddie Howe (Newcastle, 8th), Sean Dyche (Everton, 16th) and Gary O'Neil (Wolves, 19th).

Frank Lampard and Graham Potter were previously very promising, but their poor seasons at Chelsea and Everton ruined everything.

Chelsea, in particular, have chosen Enzo Maresca, following a trend started by Arsene Wenger. Until the Frenchman arrived at Arsenal, Premier League clubs were reluctant to bet on foreign coaches. However, Wenger's success at the Emirates has changed that stereotype.

If there is one nationality that stands out above the rest in the Premier League, it is the Spanish, with five managers. Pep Guardiola dominates the league, followed by Mikel Arteta, Unai Emery, Lopetegui and Iraola.

There are also three Portuguese players in the form of Ruben Amorim, Nuno Espirito Santo and Marco Silva.
