Former Newcastle United striker, Alan Shearer believes he has what it takes to replace Roy Hodgson after the 68-year-old resigned following England’s abysmal exit from the Euros on Monday night.
Alan Shearer, who now works as a BBC football pundit, said he once approached the England FA to declare his intention for the job but he was turned down due to his “lack of experience”.
“I went to see the FA about four or five years ago and said I wanted the job,” Shearer told the BBC.”
“They just looked at me and said ‘No, it’s a lack of experience’. I said: ‘well, you’ve hired experience, you pay them an absolute fortune, I could not have done any worse than those guys’.”
