Jamie Carragher has insisted the manager of the England football team "should always be English", amid reports linking Brendan Rodgers to the post.
Rodgers, who is Northern Irish, has been among those mentioned as a potential successor to Gareth Southgate. Southgate is yet to confirm his next steps after England's elimination from the World Cup at the hands of France, and is under contract until the summer of 2024 after signing an extension last year.
The former Liverpool boss, under whom ex-England international Carragher finished his playing career, is not the only name in contention. Thomas Tuchel has reportedly thrown his hat into the ring, while Mauricio Pochettino, Eddie Howe and Graham Potter have all been suggested as the next man to lead the Three Lions, though there are also many - including members of the 2022 England squad - who are keen for Southgate to stay in charge.
