Many managers in the world, have this weird idea of only managing the national team from their own country. This has a lot to do with the idiosyncratic way of looking at the world each person has, a manager who was born in the country he represents will understand everything better than a manager who is a foreigner to that country. People like Jose Mourinho see it that way, and Wales manager Chis Coleman also sees it like this.
When he was questioned about taking on the England job after coaching Wales, being a man born in Wales he denied being interested in taking on the Three Lions' seat. He told reporters that: "It's something that would never, ever enter my thinking. I'm a Welshman through and through. It would only ever be Wales."
About his next job, Coleman wants to manage out of the isles: "My next job after Wales, whenever that is, will be somewhere abroad. I quite fancy the chance of going abroad again, because I think that's my best one of managing in the Champions League. Champions League football in the Premier League – you're talking about the top, big, massive clubs, and it's not something I think I'd get linked with. So, my best chance of managing Champions League football would be abroad and it's an ambition of mine to do that. To manage another country? No, I wouldn't. That's not something I would consider."
