Former England striker Alan Shearer has launched a scathing attack on the team following their Euro 2016 exit at the hands of Iceland yesterday.

Roy Hodgson's side took an early lead in Nice, but soon found themselves behind against the tournament debutants and ultimately succumbed to an ignominious 2-1 defeat.

Hodgson resigned as manager in the immediate aftermath of the defeat, and Shearer believes that a team of Gareth Southgate and Glenn Hoddle would be a good option to take over.

"It was pretty pathetic in my opinion. There was a lot of hype coming into the tournament about our young, energetic youngsters - our players aren't as good as we think they are. It was awful to watch, we were clueless. We were out-fought, out-battled, their tactics were better than ours and everywhere you looked on the pitch it was pretty embarrassing," Shearer told BBC Radio 5 live.

"[Southgate] fits their remit, he has been with the Under-21s, he has been around the squad so I would back Gareth Southgate if he was to go in there. But I would also look at getting experience around him like Glenn Hoddle.

"Glenn was brilliant as a coach for England in my opinion, he has got so much to offer and is still young enough so I would totally back Gareth and Glenn."

Shearer also put his own name forward to offer experience as part of the coaching set-up.
