Anyone have any idea or know a resource where I could find out? The missus just asked me and I had no idea, I would guess 50/50 ish.

I was going to be facetious and say 100%... they are all foreigners, not an Englishman amongst them. Although Stuart Baxter (Finland) was born in England he considers himself Scottish!

But I'm not like that so here is a list for Europe - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_national_football_team_managers - to get you going.

You can count them yourself though.

def not 50/50 as

a) that's not a percentage
b) there are more than 50 teams
c) even if there were only 50 there's no way that all 50 are managed by foreigners
