Alan Pardew: 'England managers should get one shot at glory'

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew has said that England managers should be appointed on a "tournament-by-tournament" basis.

Pardew is currently second favourite for the job behind newly-appointed Valencia boss Gary Neville.

"It's a job I have specific views on," Pardew told The Times.

"If you have one of the biggest jobs in the world, which England manager is, you take it for one tournament. If you don't succeed, it's over."

Current manager Roy Hodgson's contract expires next year following Euro 2016, which will be the 68-year-old's third major tournament in charge.

Pardew feels that, barring success for England next summer, it is time for someone else to take on the mantle.

"I might be misguided but if Roy doesn't do well at the Euros, they should move him on, give it to somebody and say, 'Here's your tournament, win it'," said the former Newcastle boss.

"To give yourself the best chance the manager should be tournament by tournament."

The draw for next year's European Championships takes place a week today, on December 12.
