Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn has confirmed that the next England manager does not necessarily have to be of local origin.

Following the resignation of Roy Hodgson in the wake of England's humiliating Euro2016 loss to Iceland in the Round of 16 on Monday night, the FA are on the hunt for a quality replacement.

Many press reports in the UK are suggesting that the next Three Lions boss is likely to be British but Glenn says the door is wide open to any kind of candidate.

"We will be looking for the best person for the job. We will not be ruling any person out," Glenn said.

"I'm not here to talk about names.

"It's less than 24 hours since we had to depart the tournament, but I've been consistent in that we will have the best people that it will take, to take this exciting group of players forward."

Such names as Alan Pardew, Gareth Southgate, Brendan Rodgers, Harry Redknapp, Eddie Howe and Sam Allardyce are already being linked with the England vacancy but it appears as though foreigners will also be considered.
