Once you are a Manager, you are NOT an engineer. If Engineers don't like Managers-with-no-Engineering-background, then Engineers should try to fill the Manager role from their own ranks. Otherwise, what else do you expect will happen? Like a lot of things, you won't win if you are not in the race. Having said that, having an Ex-Engineer as a manager doesn't guarantee anything. You need the right ExEngineer - a person who can manage!
