Sven tips Wenger for England job

Leicester City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson believes that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is a ready made replacement for Fabio Capello, once the Italian steps down from his England duties next summer.

Sven-Goran Eriksson, himself a former England manager, thinks Wenger is the best choice for the job once Capello leaves his job.

"People talk about Harry Redknapp as the people's choice. But I'm quite sure if the FA could get Wenger, they would take him," Eriksson said.

"If you consider him foreign after all his years in England, I don't know.

"Arsene Wenger can adapt to everything. I mean, he lives for football and his family.

"You see how much it matters to him every game. But you also see when it's a Euro or a World Cup, he is working on it for French television. So he doesn't miss anything. That's his holiday!"
