Alan Shearer interested in becoming England manager

     

Alan Shearer has put himself forward as a candidate for England managerial position.
This comes after Roy Hodgson stepped down, following their exit from the 2016 European Championship.
Iceland produced one of the shocks of the 2016 European Championship, beating Hodgson’s team 2-1 to qualify for the quarter-finals.

Shearer even revealed that he approached the Football Association about the job a few years ago.

“I went to see the FA four or five years ago and said ‘I want it,'” Shearer said.
“I would have that job. They looked at me and said ‘No, it’s a lack of experience,’ I said, ‘You’ve hired experienced guys, you’ve paid them an absolute fortune, I could not have done any worse than them’.”
Asked by Gary Lineker if he would still take the job, Shearer replied: “Absolutely, I would. I would offer my experience and tournament experience. Even if Gareth Southgate got it, for him to take players in with experience who’ve been there and done it then that has to be a benefit also.”
