They don't tend to go that way because they tend to have better managers and a deeper pool of coaches who understand the game from a tactical and technical perspective.
I don't see that as a good excuse though.. Are we saying English people genetically can't be as good as foreigners in terms of tactical and technical knowledge? They have a big enough population to choose from. When the players aren't good enough England can't just pick a foreigner to come in so I don't see why it should be any different with a manager. If there is genuinely that big a lack of quality in English managers, which there might well be, then they need to do the same thing that they've done with youth academies for coaches and improve the quality of upcoming coaches. I still see it as a cop out to get in a foreign manager.
