Re: Netflix / Prime recommendations
Snowfall is excellent, but you have to watch from the beginning. I didn't realise the last series was out.
If you want something football related, then El Presidente is very good (apologies if already put forward). It's on Prime I think, and very funny for a drama.

Re: Are there any British managers who have influenced domestic game like Pep ?
Jimmy Hogan - who played for us too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Hogan
His influence was more felt in Europe to begin with, but it was eventually brought to our shores by the Hungarian national team that beat ours 5-2 at Wembley.
