FA chairman Greg Dyke wants long-term coaching structures in place throughout the national teams.
Dyke added that his biggest wish for his time in charge was to see a successful national side, adding that current manager Roy Hodgson was "a very impressive bloke doing a good job".
He does want changes to be made beneath the senior side, though, citing a desire for a structure to be put in place at all age-group levels.
"I think continuity matters and we're now looking at the structure," he said.
"We didn't have a very good under-21 tournament in the summer - I think that's an understatement - and I think before we appoint another under-21 manager we need to sort the structure.
"I am looking for someone who can be responsible for other teams further down. That's important to me.
"It's about identifying players and seeing them come through and I don't think that's been happening."
