England winger Stewart Downing sees the potentially short tenure of Stuart Pearce as manager as another fresh start for the squad.
The Three Lions take on Holland at Wembley on Wednesday in their first match in the post-Fabio Capello era and the fact that they do not have a boss sorted for this summer's European Championships is not necessarily a problem according to Liverpool's Downing as they will focus on doing a job for Pearce until that decision is made.
"We've got a big tournament coming up in the summer. It's a good test for us against the Dutch. They've got a strong squad, but I'm confident we can get a result," he said.
"Every time a new manager comes in it's a fresh start for us. It's a challenge to impress a manager and you need challenges in football to keep you going.
"I think we have to be strong-minded and concentrate on the games. The FA will take care of the new manager, at the moment Stuart Pearce is in charge and we are right behind him.
"I think everyone is touting (Tottenham boss) Harry (Redknapp), he's obviously the favourite to get the job. If he gets the job the players will obviously do their best, but at the moment it's Stuart Pearce."
