Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is happy seeing a growing number of British managers in Premier League jobs.
As things stand now, over half the current top-flight managers hail from England, Scotland or Northern Ireland, while former team-mates of Lampard's such as Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney are cutting their coaching teeth in Scotland and the Championship respectively.
"It's nice but I don't think it's anything we need to madly celebrate because if you want to become a manager in the modern world, it doesn't matter where you're from," stated Lampard.
"You just have to work as hard as you can to get the qualifications and hope that you can work and be successful to get where you want to be. The fact this is the Premier League here in England and we're seeing British managers do very well is nice.
"There will be a lot of hard work behind that and if that can inspire younger managers and players now who want to try and become managers in the future, then that's a great thing as well because it's nice to have British managers coming through and doing well. People like David Moyes and Sam Allardyce have been doing well for years and are very experienced managers."
He added: "The level of the Premier League is always improving, clubs that maybe couldn't invest so much in the past are investing. They have strong squads, good managers and great organisation so that's what we're seeing. I think it will pan out differently so I'm not sure it's worthwhile trying to guess too much."
