Who was the first non British football manager to win a major British football trophy?

Ruud Gullit (born 1 September 1962) is a Dutch footballer and subsequent manager who played professionally in the 1980s and 1990s as a defender, attacking midfielder, midfielder or forward. Widely regarded as one of the best players of his generation, he captained the Netherlands national team that was victorious at Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Euro 1988 and was also a member of the squad for the 1990 'Fédération Internationale de Football Association' (FIFA) World Cup and Euro 1992.

In the summer of 1996, when Glenn Hoddle left Chelsea to become manager of the England national team, Gullit was appointed as a player-manager becoming the first Dutch manager in the Premier League. Gullit made a promising start to his managerial career when in the first season as a player-manager he guided Chelsea to an FA Cup triumph in 1997, the club's first major trophy in 26 years. In doing so he became the first manager from outside the British Isles and the first black manager to win a major British football trophy. The club also finished at a creditable sixth place in the Premiership.
