There's a good number of English or British managers in the league to be fair, obviously not as good as in Italy, but over half the league is British. but the top teams aren't managed by Englishmen because the managers with a few exceptions aren't really good enough at the highest level.

It's the FA's fault, there are rules that a manager has to have a certain number of coaching badges before he's allowed to manage in the Premiership, yet I don't think any manager without these badges has been prevented from managing in the EPL. Which is stupid, because someone like Southgate has a good amount of potential as a manager but he's not been educated enough, most of his knowledge comes from his own experience with managers, whereas if he had some tuition he could take a step-up.

The problem is in England the managers are generally mediocre, those who do overachieve are seen as "small-club managers", like Coppell, Allardyce, even Redknapp. And nowadays few English players from the top level go into management cos they just don't need to and half of them aren't smart enough. But those who do seem to just rush in without any training like Stuart Pearce, Southgate, Roy Keane... They can do decent jobs but they're not going to be outstanding and that's something that needs to be looked at.
