Premier League: Why are there only two English managers in top flight?

There are only two English managers or head coaches in the Premier League .

Sean Dyche at Everton and Eddie Howe at Newcastle are the two domestic representatives.

The lowest number of English bosses across a full Premier League campaign stands at six (in 2011-12 , 2012-13 and 2023-24 ) There are five Spanish and four Portuguese managers currently in the top flight.

Premier League has 10% of English managers in Europe 's top leagues.

In Serie A 16 of the 20 managers are Italian ( 80% ), with La Liga having 14/20 Spaniards ( 70% ) In Ligue 1 and Bundesliga the totals are both 9/18 - so 50% domestic bosses and 50% foreign ones.

English coaches have only overseen 75 games in the Champions League - compared to over 1,000 by Italians .

Technically all 18 Bundesliga teams are German -owned because of the league's 50 +1 rule which means members must have a majority share in the club. But most of RB Leipzig's members are linked to Austrian company Red Bull , who set up the club. - Published11 August 2023 .
