Check out Don Patricio O’connell for Barcelona and Real Betis
Real Betis‘ only league title came under a Dublin manager. He later managed Barca..
Frank O’Farrell was from Cork and managed Man Utd back when they still had George Best (although there was a falling out). He got the job after getting to an FA Cup final with Leicester (lost 1-0 to Man City).
Barcelona had an Irish manager too
