Lure of the Championship - Why foreign coaches are drawn to England's second tier

The focus is often on the lack of opportunities for British coaches but look at it another way and it is remarkable that 16 of the clubs in the sixth-richest league in European football – two thirds of them – are currently being coached by men from the British Isles.

This is the famous Championship, offering raucous crowds, potential riches and a route to the Premier League. That is what has drawn the other eight - coaches from Belgium, Italy, France, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and two from Portugal - with more waiting.
