Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says the Championship is a good competition for local managers to learn their craft.
Wenger goes head to head on Sunday in the FA Cup with Chris Hughton, who has only lost once since taking over at Brighton & Hove Albion.
"When I came here people had the idea that a foreign manager could not be successful in England," he said. "It didn't work at Aston Villa so I had more to fight against the pre-conceived idea that a foreign manager can never be successful in England.
"Today you have many English managers who do not get a chance. But there are only 20 clubs and a good way to come up is to do a good job in the Championship. Maybe that's the advice you could give them.
"I believe that successful professional life is a meeting of an attitude and somebody who gives you the chance. So the only advice you can give to [English managers] is: keep the attitude and if that is right, maybe you will get the chance."
