For no particular reason, I kinda prefer the manager of England to be English, though.
I couldn't care less personally, foreign managers of national teams have been a thing since the beginning and why handicap yourself when others won't do the same?
The world cup has never been won by a manager managing a country different to his own nationality
Correlation not causation, the World Cup has only been won by countries with a rich history of football that means they're capable of producing great managerial talent too.
That's obviously not to say England is incapable of producing world class managers, but for various reasons English managers' career progression is more limited in England.
