Steve McClaren believes the England national team would be better suited if they appoint an experienced manager to replace Roy Hodgson.

U21 head coach Gareth Southgate has been installed as favourite to step into the vacancy created by Hodgson's immediate departure in the wake of Monday night's Euro2016 exit at the hands of Iceland.

However, former Three Lions boss McClaren suggests the 45-year-old does not have enough know-how to lead a senior national team and wants someone with vast experience.

"I've no problem with young English managers but this job is for an experienced manager who knows what tournament football is all about," said former Newcastle United and Derby County manager McClaren, speaking as a guest on Sky Sports News HQ.

"It takes European experience; someone in the ilk of a Guus Hiddink - potentially even short-term - perhaps.

"Gary Neville has had great experience - we can't discard that but let's use rugby as our model with a experienced, successful man in Eddie Jones and a programme underneath him where we can develop coaches.

"I think we have the raw material to work with, I just think we've failed when it coming to how to win football matches; coaching players how to win, how to take risks.

"Certain issues will need to be addressed by the FA when it comes to coaching courses. The next manager coming in will need a lot of help."
