Steve Coppell has said that he fears for English coaches after he announced that the top elite jobs seem to all go to foreign coaches. Coppell also made it clear he would not welcome former Italy international Capello to these shores.
He said: "I'm sad, to be honest. I'm a proud English manager and I would have loved an Englishman to have been in charge.
"You look at his CV and I must admit it is enticing. He is everything that you would want an England manager to be but, as an Englishman, how would you like an Italian coming in taking your job?
"You look at the list of contenders and what he has done ticks all the boxes but I just wish he was English.
"We have now created a situation where it is very hard for an English manager to get to the top of the tree.
"The only way realistically now for an English manager to get a job in the Premier League is if he takes a team up there himself.
"Certainly, none of the elite half of the table are going to appoint an English manager.
"I don't think I will ever get an elite job myself if I'm honest. The big teams will now always go for continental managers with European experience."
