Should national team managers be from the country they coach?

13 managers in this World Cup manage teams from nations that aren't their own.

The rules on what countries you can manage are much more lax than the ones on who you can play for which doesn't make sense to me.

It's the most important role in most national teams, so shouldn't they be from the same country they are representing? Or at least have citizenship?

I reckon it'd be a good idea but too many World Cups have passed with this not being the case.
