Harry Redknapp is less than impressed with the appointment of Thomas Tuchel as England manager.
Redknapp was once linked to the job himself in 2012 after Three Lions boss Fabio Capello walked away from the role.
At the time he was in charge of Tottenham but in the end Roy Hodgson was the man choosen to lead the national team.
Tuchel’s appointment is only the third foreign coach in England’s history following reigns under Sven Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello but Redknapp believes the manager should be English.

Speaking to Sky Sports he said: “He’s lost his job quite quickly at a couple of clubs.
“It’s not like he’s been a massive success. He’s come and gone at a couple of clubs. I’m very patriotic, I think we should have an English manager, but obviously, the field was very small to choose from.”
