You don't have to be English to play for England, you just have to have an English grandpaerent or have a british citizenship, e.g John Barnes was British not English

Well. for the same reason that Schumaker is German and drove an Italian Ferraris... Only in the case of the English team and Mourinho, the ca and the driver are both Portuguese, LOL ( just kidding )

The manager isn't playing!
I don't mind having a foreigner, so long as he is the best man for the job.

Because the manager doesn't play. For countries that are very small e.g. Andorra, Faroe Islands they probably haven't got any decent manager so need foreign coaches. You can't have different rules for different countries.

It's not a rule of the game. Whereas the nationality of players is.
