Former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson has backed under-fire Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to be the next England manager following Fabio Capello’s exit after Euro 2012.
Talking to The Times, the Leicester City manager said: “Whatever the nationality of the coach, he has a difficult time if you don’t reach the semi-final. Arsene Wenger can adapt to everything. I mean, he lives for football.
“Reporters talk about [Harry] Redknapp as the people’s choice and I’m quite sure if they could get Wenger, they would take him. Arsene Wenger can adapt to everything. I mean, he lives for football and his family.”
Other names that have been mentioned for the job include Spurs manager Harry Redknapp, and Carlo Ancelotti, who has recently publicly stated his interest in managing Tottenham in the future, could be lined-up as a replacement.
