Sven Goran Eriksson says Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is the man to succeed Fabio Capello.
Capello's reign will end this summer regardless of what happens at the finals, leaving the Football Association with the task of finding his successor.
However, Eriksson believes the right man is under their noses in the shape of Tottenham manager Redknapp.
He said: "I would say Harry Redknapp is a very, very good choice. Of course, there are others, but Harry is English and if the FA wants an Englishman, I think he's the perfect one."
