The FA don't have Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho on their shortlist for the England job.

FA chief executive Alex Horne confirmed yesterday to BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme, the preference remains for a home-grown candidate.

"They don't have to be English but clearly that would be very preferable," he said.

"We all get that. We think British is credible.

"It's key we have someone with very strong English communication skills, ideally someone who's got experience of managing English players."
