There's been a fair few....eg Bobby Houghton who was memorably complicit in Shitty's drop  through 4 leagues in  4 years.....took Malmo to the Euro cup final.

  Howard Kendall and Ron Atkinson both had spells in Spain.  David Platt controversially had a go with Samp.

   Gordon Milne....had a few clubs and was successful in Turkey where Souness did a stint.

   Daddy of the lot was George Raynor who took Sweden to the 58 WC final.

    Is it important as I think of some more if it is?

I think if they've managed in English football  then they sort of qualify as an "English" manager abroad.

Steve Nicol somewhere in the US - he's English isn't he.

Terry Butcher at Sydney

But granted, hardly 'football' is it

 Nichol is a Sweatie......earning a few bob in the colonies hardly counts.

Gary Johnson only managed Latvia didn't he?  I can't remember him being in charge of any major top flight club.

   I think we all know McMoan's whereabouts, but the presumption is that football in the penal colonies isn't top flight.   Hence why no-one has mentioned Terry Butcher.  BTW if you're not a Swindon fan WTF are you doing on here?

I've been reading about Willy Garbutt, so I thought I'd dig this thread up again.

Apparently he created the blueprint for Italian football coaching.
