Chelsea legend Lampard: England should consider foreign coach

Chelsea legend Frank Lampard believes England shouldn't turn up their nose at another foreign coach.

England should not be afraid of appointing another foreign coach as a successor to Roy Hodgson, said Lampard, who played under Swede Sven-Goran Eriksson and Italian Fabio Capello during his time with the national side.

"Ideally, as a proud Englishman, you'd love an English manager," he told BBC Sport.

"But I think, in the modern world, you have to accept that, if the options aren't there, you have to look abroad.

"It wouldn't bother me if a foreign manager took an England team forward and was successful, not at all."
