Burnley boss Sean Dyche believes British managers are fighting against "branded jeans'' syndrome as owners and fans continue to favour foreign appointments.
Dyche is one of just six homegrown managers preparing for the new Premier League season, rising to seven if Hull caretaker Mike Phelan is included.
Seven teams have made full-time appointments for the coming campaign, with only Sunderland choosing a British coach in David Moyes.
Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte have landed huge jobs at Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea, with Claude Puel, Walter Mazzarri and Ronald Koeman taking over at Southampton, Watford and Everton, respectively.
