And Jean Tigana. Managed Fulham for 3 years - a promotion to the PL and UEFA Cup winners.

Don't wait for me!
You're forgetting Jean Tigana who got Fulham promoted from the Championship (Foootball league 1 at the time) in 2000; Alain Perrin who with Portsmouth had a win % of 19.05; and Santini, who's 5 months at Spurs is forgotten by most having won 5 out of 13. Good old spurs.
That's all the premiership managers.
EDIT: I think I might have been beaten to the Tigana fact. Just.
Since the Championship started there's never been a Frenchman at the helm. No stats = no comparison. Viva la France!

Chilean managers had achieved nothing in England before one won the Premier League last season....nationality of managers isn't an indication of how successful they're going to be

This is shaping up similarly to how oscars appointment did last year isn't it?
What i'm slighty afraid of and everyone saying he needs a year to shape and mould the team. Hopefully who ever comes in has already an idea which players he wants in that will fit with the rest of the team.

Given the subsequent posts, shall we re-phrase your question: has a French manager EVER been unsuccessful in England?

I think the phrase rhymes with Clucking Bell.

Oh well.
The argus has as much of an idea about who our manager is than we do so I would pay no attention to it at the moment.
