Yeah, you do learn the language. When I started my second season with the Italian club, I learned Italian (basic).
My concern was would I be given enough time to rebuild the club. If my not knowing Italian hurts the chances of signing players then that would make it even harder to survive there.
I was also concerned about what I think is a bug. I first managed FC Dallas and got fired 2/3 the way into my second season. When I joined the Italian Serie B club, the games won in my profile went back to 0 while the games drawn and games lost stayed the same. I wondered if my new chairman would look at that and say, "He's won 0 games?? Fire him!".
Yeah, I also figured reputation was a factor. Being obscure was probably a bad thing. Oh, well now I'm local.
