Wenger - Go for Englishman
-
Arsene Wenger has urged the Football Association to appoint an English manager as Steve McClaren's successor.
The FA has stated that nationality will not be an issue when selecting the new boss, and many of the names in the frame are foreign.
The likes of Jose Mourinho, Fabio Capello and Jurgen Klinsmann have been strongly linked with the role, but Wenger believes it would be a mistake to go for a continental coach regardless of their qualifications.
He feels an Englishman deserves the opportunity, and is surprised that a country so nationalistic should be so keen to look elsewhere.
Wenger said in The Guardian. "It is like you go to war and you say 'now we choose a general from Portugal or a general from Italy to lead our army'. Would that idea cross your mind? Never.
"You have (Harry) Redknapp, (Alan) Curbishley, (Steve) Coppell, (Gareth) Southgate, (Stuart) Pearce, (Sam) Allardyce. You have plenty but you do not rate them highly enough. Give them a chance. -
