No, but of course...

...it's not just your command of a language in general, but also the culture and nuances which may be an issue.

As you know, I coach a Dutch American Football team and whether I speak English or Dutch to them, sometimes we still have misunderstandings.

However, when you work frequently with foreign people you tend to get used to it and don't pick up on nuances as much as you would normally so perhaps having Sven as manager for so long would actually help the players' communication with Scolari.

Either way, the best choice I think. Better small misunderstandings with an excellent football coach than understand everything Curbs, Sam or McClaren is trying to tell you, and disagree with it constantly.
