Steven Gerrard has nominated his former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers as a potential successor to England boss Roy Hodgson.

Gerrard told the Daily Mail he believes Rodgers' playing style and man management skills would get the best out of the England squad.

"The way he plays would suit England," Gerrard said.

"He would improve the possession football you need at international level. His man management is brilliant. At tournaments, in the heat, it is absolute torture and we need to keep the ball better.'

"If you want someone who would get the team playing and the players would enjoy working with, it would be Brendan.

"Look, I can't find any mistakes with Roy. He's always been very good to me and is the right man to be the England manager now. I hope he has a very good European Championship and stays as long as possible but will be judged on what happens in the finals — he knows that himself.

"If it doesn't go well I'm sure there will be changes, maybe then or whenever Roy's time's over Brendan can be in the mix — but who am I?"
