FA wants English manager to replace Sam Allardyce

FA chairman Greg Clarke says that the governing body would prefer to hire an Englishman as the next England manager.

Football Association chairman Greg Clarke has claimed that the governing body would prefer to appoint an Englishman as the next England manager.

The national side are without a permanent boss following the departure of Sam Allardyce, who lasted just 67 days in the job after being caught up in The Telegraph's investigation into corruption in football.

The former Sunderland boss was secretly filmed by undercover journalists appearing to discuss how to get around the FA's ban on third-party ownership of players.

Gareth Southgate currently holds the interim role, and while the FA's priority is to hire a homegrown coach, it is open to appointing a manager with Premier League experience.

While answering questions from MPs about allegations of corruption in the sport, Clarke said: "We would like an English manager if we can get one, but if we can't, we'd like someone who has managed extensively in the Premier League so he understands the English football system, its development, the EPPP (Elite Player Performance Plan) etc.

"And I think we'd be crazy to appoint anyone who has never worked in English football. So it's a taxonomy."

Despite his French heritage, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been linked with the job.
