Pretty sure that Eddie Howe and co. would still be in Man City's position and vice versa if they swapped squads
English managers aren't really given chances at top clubs. If they were then they probably wouldn't be as low as 12th or lower.
Suppose Southgate took England further than Sven and capello

He may not have them doing as well as Pep but he'd have them in the top 6 I reckon.

Anywhere outside of 1st or 2nd maybe even 3rd with that City squad would be a failure.
In general though, players and manager are too comfortable and well paid to bother moving abroad.
If any English manager managed Man City they would still be top of the tree. Question is would Pep keep a side like Cardiff in the Premiership. Works both ways.

Maybe but then there last 3 foreign managers have all had at least one unsuccessful season with City (including Pep).
Boss,you hit it on the head,the comfort zone.

We once had Mark Hughes. He kept us in 5th.
Mancini came in the next season and we won the FA cup.
To suggest that any English manager would keep City at the top is not correct.
Spurs got rid of an English manager (Tim Sherwood) too before Poch.How far did he go and why did you get rid of him if "If any English manager managed Man City they would still be top of the tree"
Speaking of English managers
Joey Barton, now manages of Fleetwood town was apprehended by police as he tried to leave the ground yesterday after assaulting Barnsley manager in the tunnel after the game, leaving him on the floor in a pool of blood

Mark Hughes was sacked around December 2009, Mancini took over then. I think you were 5th at that stage though, Mark Hughes also signed the likes of Adebayour, Tevez, Barry in that Summer. Mancini took over and you ended up finishing 5th, then the following season you finished 3rd and won the FA Cup.

The answer is NO
City brought in Toure and Silva in the summer following Hughes' sacking. And then Aguero the summer after.
Let's not pretend Mancini didn't have a better set of players to work with.
Mark Hughes is also Welsh not English
Talking of Eddie Howe, I think he owes it to himself to have a try at a bigger club,no disrespect to Bournmouth .
English managers play boring outdated transparent football which the foreign managers can usually outplay.
It's 2019, and even mid-table clubs like like West Ham and Newcastle can now afford to cast their eye abroad and hire ex-Real Madrid managers.
Market forces and all that.

Hughes did not have anywhere near the sort of players that Guardiola has at his disposal. Neither did he spent as much.
Pep could improve any of the Top 6 clubs, he is the best the world and improves those players willing to listen and learn. Whether many players in clubs at the bottom of the table would be able to grasp the complex patterns he sets up and have the skill to perform them is a moot point.
Football, is not rocket science ,is It ?
It isn't, but players need to be willing to learn and to have the skills to apply the techniques, or else the likes of Warnock would be winning the PL rather than being relegated every time.
