Problems "at the centre of English football" and within the Football Association could affect the next England manager, according to former chairman David Bernstein.

David Bernstein has claimed that problems within the Football Association could affect the next England manager.

The ex-Manchester City chief and former head of the FA believes that the English football governing body's structure is "outmoded" and must be modernised.

A report from the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee in 2013 called for reforms in English football - and outlined concerns including financial management as well as the balance of power between the Premier League.

Bernstein told BBC Sport: "We have a massive problem at the centre of English football. If we don't address it, whatever manager is appointed will come in with great hope but go out disappointed.

"I am talking about an outmoded structure, which is not modern enough or independent enough and it frustrates the executives within the FA. This is compounded greatly by the success of the Premier League. We have no balance in our game."

Bernstein stepped down as chairman of the FA in 2013 after three years in the role and was succeeded by Greg Dyke, who left the post last month.
