English football lacks good local coaches

An An |

The appearance of Thomas Tuchel on the England coaching bench has truly reflected what is happening in the Premier League.

From the outside, everything seems great for English football. The Premier League is for the majority the best tournament in the world. They have strong teams and a promising young squad. However, there are growing concerns about a lack of managers in England, especially after Thomas Tuchel took charge.

That is not limited to England but the Premier League itself is also suffering the consequences of this situation. In fact, no English-born manager has lifted the trophy since the competition became known as the Premier League. We have to go back to the 1991-92 season to find the last one to do so: Howard Wilkinson with Leeds United.

Since then, 1 Scot, 1 Frenchman, 1 Portuguese, 4 Italian, 1 Chilean, 1 Spaniard and 1 German have won the Premier League... but no Englishman.

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

He further analyzed this strange story with a curious metaphor: "It has become a golden age of Hollywood. If you are a good actor or artist, the best thing to do is go to Hollywood, where they pay the most and produce the best films."

There are currently only three English managers working in the Premier League, and only one of them has led 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 used to have great potential, but their poor seasons at Chelsea and Everton ruined everything.

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

If there is one nationality that stands out more than the rest of 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, with Ruben Amorim, Nuno Espirito Santo and Marco Silva.

The number of domestic coaches working in the top 5 leading European national championships corresponds:

La Liga: 15 people

Bundesliga: 9 men

Italy: 16 people

Ligue 1: 10 men

Premier League: 3 men
