Premier League clubs face being blocked from appointing top foreign managers under strict new rules that threaten to change the face of English football.
Under post-Brexit immigration guidelines adopted by the FA and Home Office last month, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Marcelo Bielsa would have been denied permission to work in this country at the time they were appointed by Manchester United and Leeds respectively, and the appointments of dozens of coaches throughout the Premier League and EFL could be blocked in future.
The FA's new regulations are based on five 'bands' that determine whether a manager qualifies for a Governing Body Endorsement (GBE), which is now required for them to work in England.
