Whenever managers are talked about, invariably the 'dinosaur British manager' line appears. Are there any dinosaur foreign managers as well, or is it just that we don't hear of them because their doing the rounds abroad?

Poor Wednesday though.

In a nutshell yes. 

Plenty of managers do the rounds in Italy and Spain, although Italian football tends to be a totally different beast with managers having a set style due to their form of teaching and generally being separated from the results they preside over, and in Spain the massive disparity in finances means its less of a risk to drop between the divisions so more managers get opportunities from lower divisions. The existence of B-sides also allows managers to learn without the pressure of results. 

But, go to any country and you’ll find a handful of wily older managers with 10-average jobs behind them still getting chances...
