I'm also pretty sure that managers, like players in the game, learn the languages of the countries they manage in over time. I want to say that it takes a couple of seasons for you to learn the language of the country you manage in if you don't know it already.

I guess it's possible that Italians woudn't come to your club if you didn't speak their language. If you learned Italian at some point in your managerial career, that could go a long way in helping you get some Italian players in.

But like Frogman said earlier in the thread, your reputation is key. Players ultimately want to play for a winner no matter where they come from.
