The Premier League is almost 30 years old, and during that time, the top flight of English football has been won by 11 managers from 7 different countries - and yet, not a single one of those seven countries is England.
It's a similar tale in the UEFA Champions League and Europa League, and it paints a picture of English managers being rigid, incompetent, 4-4-2 dinosaurs incapable of competing with their Spanish, Italian, and German counterparts, or even of holding any of the top jobs.
But why is this the case? In this opinion piece, HITC Sevens examines the key arguments surrounding English managers, why they don't hold the top jobs in the Premier League, and whether there are any signs that the current outlook is changing.
