Who could replace Fabio Capello after World Cup exit?
As Fabio Capello prepares to hold talks with members of the Football Association regarding his future as England manager, Duncan White looks at possible replacements for the Italian following the side's elimination from the World Cup.
Martin O’Neill
He was the public’s choice to succeed Sven-Goran Eriksson in 2006, but failed to impress in his interview with the FA. Has built a team based around young English players at Aston Villa and is an excellent motivator.
Stuart Pearce
The Football Association sought Pearce’s inclusion in Capello’s team in order to groom him as a future coach. He has been successful with the Under-21s, but there remain doubts about his aptitude and experience.
Arsène Wenger
An outsider for the job, but the Frenchman knows English football inside out, has an outstanding track record at Arsenal and would be able to coordinate the development of a new generation of talented players.
Roy Hodgson
The former Inter Milan manager would be favourite to succeed Capello after guiding Fulham to their highest Premier League finish and the final of the Europa League in consecutive seasons. Has international experience having managed Switzerland, UAE and Finland.
Harry Redknapp
Popular and gregarious man-manager who handles the media well and has worked with many of the England players at club level. Football Association may be concerned that he comes with too much baggage, what with a court case pending over alleged tax evasion.
