Roy Keane makes bold choice on who should become next permanent England manager
Roy Keane has urged the FA to 'go for the best' in their search for a new permanent England manager to succeed Gareth Southgate. A number of high-profile candidates have been linked with the role over the last few months but the FA are yet to make a decision.
Interim boss Lee Carsley has refused to confirm whether or not he wants to be considered for the job on a permanent basis. The likes of Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Eddie Howe have also been mentioned as potential candidates to manage England.
Speaking on ITV Sport after England's win over Finland on Sunday, Keane urged the FA to aim as high as possible in their search for a new coach. He named Pep Guardiola as the ideal candidate, with the Spaniard coming to the end of his Manchester City contract.

"Pep's contract is up the summer. The FA have to go for the best guy. I don't know if finances will play a part in it.
"If Lee obviously rules himself [out], and he's not interested, and that seems to be the noises coming out, then the FA better get busy and get the right man."

He stopped short of ruling himself out but insisted that only a world-class manager who has won trophies should get the job.

"My bosses have made it totally clear what they need from me," said Carsley. "This job deserves a world-class coach that has won trophies and been there and done it, and I’m still on the path to doing that.
"I’ve not really thought that much about it. I keep saying the same thing. My remit was to do six games and I’m really happy with that.
"I’m enjoying it but I didn’t enjoy it the last two days. I’m not used to losing and I don’t take it very well. I thought we were looking for a reaction [against Finland]. I think they have shown they responded really well, in the best way."
