In the elections,you should vote for a candidate because of his ability as manager
With all due respect, if you believe this, then you have a long way to go before you'll be worthy of coaching any nations team.
WAIT,WHAAAAAAAAAT?????The coach of a NT HAS TO BE the best manager/coach possible...how do you think that he can be able to win games?
Hackering the site to let the weakest and worst managed team win? -.-"

The REASONS Japanese managers would PREFER a manager based in Japan are very simple, and as follows:
1. Communication: the ability to communicate with us on a frequency that someone based in...
2. Relationship: we already have a relationship with YC, one based on - in some cases - a few years of communication (see point 1!).
Add to that, the guy already is a proven quality. You'll see why we don't have to shop outside our own shores.
How much do you think that a NT staff need to talk with the managers?In the routine of a NT staff,BB-mails every week/pair of weeks with the managers of the players to check out their development and game shape is more than enough(and honestly,managers should contact the staff to upgrade their players to ask advices,training their players at best level possible,and see their players in japanese national team).Add some periodic general updates and game threads,and this kind of "standard" communication would be yet at a pretty good level.I don't think that the fact of being in Italy,rather than in USA,Poland,France,Russia,Iran or everywhere else can impede this kind of communication
Relationship is a point to consider,but again is really secondary to the ability of a coach to manage the roster the managers gives him,help manager to build the best players possible,put the best line-up on the floor to exploit adversaries weaknesses,have the largest possible sample of player that can fight for an NT spot to avoid problems with game shape/injuries,create specialized players to be able to use different tactics and so on...
