Newcastle United caretaker boss John Carver says Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew deserves to be considered as a future England coach.
Pardew meets Newcastle for the first time since leaving the club last month.
"Alan can definitely be a future England manager because he has the temperament," said Carver.
"The England manager gets criticised by everyone. There would be big pressure on but he could deal with it."
He added: "Me, Andy Woodman and Steve Stone would have a laugh and joke about it - we'd say, 'Do you think he will take us to England with him?'.
"But he was focused on this job and his legacy here is a fantastic one."
