Martin Glenn to seek advice in England managerial search

FA chief executive Martin Glenn reveals that he will take his time and seek advice before appointing England's next manager.

Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn has confirmed that he will seek advice before appointing the next England manager.

Glenn will search for Roy Hodgson's successor alongside FA technical director Dan Ashworth and vice-chairman David Gill, with Under-21 manager Gareth Southgate emerging as the early favourite.

However, Glenn, who readily admitted to not being a football expert in an England press conference earlier today, insists that he will take his time to get the decision right.

"The process for finding a new manager is underway. We're going to harness opinion and wisdom from the wider part of the game. We need to have a wider consultation of the game. It's really important we get this right," he told reporters.

"We are going to be canvassing opinion from former managers, current managers, clubs and players to make sure we get a lot of wisdom.

"We want to move to a new approach, get a new management team, and it's our commitment to say in future tournaments in every game, every match, every half we will punch our weight, go to tournaments as contenders and get over this brittleness."

Glenn also hinted that foreign managers will be considered for the post.
