Former Southampton forward Rickie Lambert has said that he would love to see Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino manage the England national team in the future.

Lambert, who retired from professional football earlier on in the month, knows Pochettino well having worked with him during their time together at Southampton.

Speaking on Goals on Sunday, Lambert said that Pochettino would make a good England national team manager.

"He's brilliant," said Lambert. "His man-management is spot on. Technically, he's brilliant.

"I would love him to be an England manager, if there's any chance that the FA could get him in the future, they should jump at it, without a doubt.

"The lads would love playing for him, everyone who has ever played under him, especially the British lads, love him."

"He is the best manager I've played for. His attention to detail is second to none. He's one of few managers that wants to improve your game - every single player in the team."
