Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Brad Friedel has backed Paul Ince for the manager's job.
"People were saying that about Mark Hughes," he told Sky Sports News.
"I know he had four or five years with Wales, but I don't think when you have the winning mentality, when you have players coming from the highest level and when they are students of the game like this I don't think it is a problem at all."
Friedel says Ince has the right mentality for Blackburn after playing alongside the former England international at Liverpool.
"I played with him at Liverpool, Incey as a footballer was a winner and he has obviously proven as a manager he is a winner," he continued.
"He knows football and loves football which I think is why he has had the success he has had."
