Arsenal legend Wright says ex-Chelsea boss Hiddink deserves England consideration

Arsenal legend Ian Wright feels former Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink deserves consideration for the England job.

Hiddink has been mentioned for the post as a Euros stop-gap.

Wright told the The Christian O’Connell Breakfast Show on Absolute Radio: "Well, without a doubt. You know, his CV stands up there with everybody, just like Fabio Capello’s on club football level, it’s stood up there. I would just like to see it go to someone like Harry, who’s at the time in his life where he could take on a job like this.

"Players respect him, the players like him, and let’s see if we can get a manager who can actually get the players playing for him. I think there was a little bit of constantly talking about communication issues in the squad and stuff like that, you know, getting stuff over, you know what I mean? I think that might have had a bearing, and hopefully Harry will go in there and just give the whole place a fresh boost and the boys will just react."
