Jamie Carragher wants Jurgen Klinsmann to become the next manager of the England national team.

Following a woeful showing at the European Championships, Hodgson tendered his resignation and the FA have now started their search to find a replacement for the 68-year-old.

Names such as Gareth Southgate, Alan Pardew, Sam Allardyce and Slaven Bilic have been bandied about as potential candidates for the England job but former Liverpool star Carragher has suggested that current United States national team manager Klinsmann could be a good option for the Three Lions.

Writing in his column for the Daily Mail, Carragher said: “Who should be the next England manager?

“The three-man committee of Martin Glenn, Dan Ashworth and David Gill will answer that question in the coming weeks.

“My own view is that international football should be about the best in your country against the best of someone else's, so I had always favoured an Englishman but there can be no complaints if the FA look to a foreign coach.

“With that in mind, I wouldn't knock the idea of appointing Jurgen Klinsmann, who has been to a World Cup semi-final with Germany, a Copa America semi-final with the United States and knows our game."
