Harry Redknapp: 'I have no faith in FA picking right man for England job'

Harry Redknapp slams the FA's ability to find the "right man" for the England job following Roy Hodgson's resignation.

Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp has questioned the Football Association's ability to pick the "right man" to succeed England manager Roy Hodgson.

Hodgson's four-year reign came to an end on Monday night following a humiliating 2-1 defeat to Iceland in the last-16 stage of Euro 2016.

The 68-year-old announced his resignation less than an hour after the Three Lions' tournament exit.

Redknapp, who was snubbed by the FA in 2012, has criticised the governing body's conduct and has rubbished suggestions that Gary Neville should take over.

In his column for The Telegraph, Redknapp said: "Roy Hodgson could not possibly have survived as England manager but I've got no faith whatsoever in the Football Association picking the right man to succeed him. Hodgson had to go after what was arguably the worst result in England's history, a final embarrassment in what has been a dreadful tournament. But can anyone trust the FA to get the right man? They gave the job to Hodgson and he has failed spectacularly for the last two tournaments, or even three if you consider Euro 2012.

"I'm seeing Gary Neville being made one of the favourites to succeed Hodgson but how the hell can he be considered after the job he did at Valencia? He should be culpable, he has never coached proper players and it would just be jobs for the boys if he was to be appointed. Gareth Southgate has done a great job with the Under-21s but there's no way he is ready for the challenge of taking on the England team.

"We've got the farcical situation of Dan Ashworth picking the next England manager and I'm really not sure about his credentials either. It appears that anyone connected with West Brom seems to have a chance. I've got no idea where we go from here. Brendan Rodgers has taken the Celtic job so there's no chance of that while Eddie Howe is still too young. You can count me out - I've made it clear how I'd have liked the job in the past but they aren't going to consider me now."

England have won just one game in their last two major tournaments.
