Homegrown: Roy Hodgson could handle England role
Sven Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello have managed England because of a lack of homegrown alternatives.
But if Capello leaves for any reason after the World Cup this summer, the Football Association wouldn't have to look much further than Roy Hodgson.
Hodgson's European exploits have captured the public imagination this season, particularly as his Fulham team seemed down and out against Juventus and Hamburg before reaching the Europa League final.
He's clearly an excellent coach and organiser, an intelligent football man and good communicator.
The one question-mark against him - can he handle the big names? - can be answered by his record at Inter Milan.
Hodgson and Harry Redknapp have shown that English managers can compete at the highest level.
Hodgson's achievement in taking Fulham to their first European final speaks volumes.
