Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew can see Tottenham counterpart Harry Redknapp succeeding Fabio Capello as England coach.

Pardew is backing Spurs boss Harry Redknapp to succeed Capello as England manager.

"I think he is the obvious candidate. I would like it to be an Englishman.

"I think it is important for the English fan, because I think it would take something away from us to win a trophy with a foreign manager. That is just a personal view.

"I certainly wish and hope it is an English manager [next] and Harry would be my first choice."
