Staff Nationalities

Does anyone else only hire staff with scouting knowledge rather than getting English staff for example (presuming your an english team)? I think its the best way to find good players when you can't scout everywhere as you can do a player search for players based in their country. The new report system, when you get a new scout can easily be used to find loads of players much faster than wasting time scouting Russia for a year.

I do like doing that but I always feel that my staff need to be able to also speak the language of the country I'm playing in. Not sure if staff language has any effect on the game though?!?

I usually hire a few domestic scouts who typically suggest buying the same players and then hire one or two from each region that produces talented youngsters (South America, Africa, East Asia, Central America)

in previous FM's (dont have 12) i always hired as much nationalities as possible

I try to get scouts from as wide a variety of nations as possible, but ability comes first.
