Is it the Welsh manager or the Wales manager?

If the manager IS Welsh, then he or she is the Welsh
manager.
For example, Tony Pulis is the Welsh manager of Stoke City's
football team (2011). Pulis is Welsh but Stoke City is in England,
not Wales.
Similarly, Fabio Capello is Italian and manages England's
national football team (2011). So Capello is the Italian manager of
the England team, not the English manager!
But the person who manages a 'Wales' team, department or
regional office is the Wales manager, a title which would
distinguish his/her role from that of the Scotland manager, the
England manager, the Germany manager or the Europe manager. Capello
is the England manager (2011), meaning he is the manager of
England's national football team.

'John Toshack has stood down as Wales manager' -BBB news, 9
September 2010
'Lawrie Sanchez ready to apply for Wales manager job' -BBC
news, 29 October 2010
'Fabio Capello's five biggest mistakes as England manager'
-news headline, Telegraph, 9 February 2011
USAGE VARIATIONS
Although not strictly correct, expressions such as 'Welsh
manager' are often used when what is really meant is the Wales
manager.
For example, a February 9, 2011 headline says "Lars
Lagerback Cut In Betting To Become Next Welsh Manager"
But immediately underneath, in the text of the news item, it
explains "Lars Lagerback is the new favourite in the betting to
become the next Wales Manager"
(Lars Lagerback is Swedish, by the way!)

Who was the last English manager to win the Premiership?

No English manager has ever won the Premiership since its
inception. The last English manager to win the old Division 1 (The
Premiership's predecessor) was Howard Wilkinson with Leeds Utd in
1991/2. Thankfully, Leeds are now in their rightful place in the
third tier of English football where they lock horns with the likes
of Cheltenham and Yeovil.
