Football Association director Sir Trevor Brooking says the next England manager should be homegrown.

Italian Fabio Capello is contracted to be England coach until 2012 and is the FA's second overseas appointment after Swede Sven-Goran Eriksson.



"I think longer-term, after Fabio, we'd like to go English," the FA's director of development told BBC Radio 5 live.



The FA wants a young English coach to join Capello's backroom team as it attempts to groom a successor.

Former England full-back Stuart Pearce is already part of Capello's largely Italian team of coaches, and is also in charge of the under-21 side, while ex-Tottenham and Liverpool keeper Ray Clemence is also involved in the set-up.



"The third English coach is something the board is interested in," said Brooking, who did not rule out former England striker Alan Shearer as a possible candidate.

Mark Hughes, not meant to be controversial, know he is not english, but is british brought up through our league. Do not ignore a British manager, many Scottish/Welsh/Irish players have been born in England and spent their careers through the Englaih leagues.

Still stung by their performance in the World Cup. They deserve George Michael. He would chase them from a...hole to breakfast time all over Hampstead Heath and save the cost of an international training ground.
