Gareth Southgate's eight-year era ended in battle in the Euro 2024 finalized, and the FA are taking their time to label a substitute for him.
Robbie Keane believes that Mauricio Pochettino's nationality should n't be a barrier to him potentially taking over as England manager.
The past Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea manager, who won 20 foreign cap for Argentina as a player, has been touted as a possible alternative for Gareth Southgate.
If the FA elected to nominate Pochettino, he may get only the second foreign director of the England men's national team after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.
" Essentially you would want an international director to come from the same region as the team, but it depends on who is available and it's finally about getting the right person for the job", said Keane, speaking on behalf of Betway.
" I do n't think England have to appoint an English manager from the Premier League – as long as the new manager has success, nobody will care where he's from".
" Mauricio Pochettino is very good with young people, the people all love him, and he's very pleasant with the press," Pochettino said.
" I know Mauricio pretty well, and he's a great guy. If you take a look at his Tottenham career, you can see how he prepared the young people for a opportunity right away and did a fantastic job with them.
Pochettino is known for his lively, attacking sport, and he brilliantly led Spur to the Champions League final in 2019, where they were defeated by Liverpool.
He is now out of work, and awaiting his second chance, after leaving Chelsea by common consent at the end of next year.
Lee Carsley is among the candidates for England's career after his victory with the Under-21s, apart from Pochettino.
His interesting side won all six of their activities to say the German Under-21 Championship next summer, with Curtis Jones scoring the victor in the final.
Cole Palmer, Anthony Gordon and Levi Colwill, who have all gone on to become full tournaments since therefore, played important roles under Carsley and Keane feels he's a worthwhile prospect.
Lee Carsley, who I played with and know quite well, is one of the names being thrown out for the next England boss. We speak on a regular basis.
He describes himself as a "very good coach," knows the young English players entering the second team, and enjoys playing fine football.
