Former England boss Sam Allardyce believes home-grown managers are considered second class in a 'foreign' Premier League.
Following the recent sacking of Craig Shakespeare by Leicester, replaced by Frenchman Claude Puel at the Foxes, the top flight currently has seven British or Irish managers.
Allardyce, who back in 2010 once claimed he was more suited to Inter Milan or Real Madrid than the likes of former clubs Bolton and Blackburn, said the overseas influence in the Premier League was a barrier for coaches closer to home.
'I think you are almost deemed as second class because it is your country,' he said.
