Former England boss Roy Hodgson insists that he is open to the idea of a foreign manager succeeding him in charge of the national team.

Former England manager Roy Hodgson has insisted that he would not have an issue with a foreign manager succeeding him in charge of the national team.

Hodgson's four-year stint as Three Lions boss came to an end on Monday as he stepped down in the immediate aftermath of his side's 2-1 defeat at the hands of Iceland at Euro 2016.

FA chief executive Martin Glenn hinted today that he would consider foreign candidates for the job, and Hodgson is open to the idea despite preferring an Englishman to be in charge.

"I don't have a problem with it. It would be very hypocritical of me to do so having been a national coach in Switzerland, Finland the UAE," he told reporters.

"I think I should be the last person to say it's got to be a national. It's got to be the best person.

"I think it would be nice if it was an Englishman. I have been proud as an Englishman to do the job and I have had a lot of support from the general public as an Englishman. But Martin will have to find the best person available."

England Under-21s manager Gareth Southgate is currently the favourite to take the reins.
