Carragher wants English coach
iverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes England are "cheating" by employing a foreign manager to run the national team.[LNB] Current boss Fabio Capello is overseeing England's final preparations ahead of tomorrow's vital Euro 2012 qualifier in Montenegro.[LNB]The Italian persuaded Carragher to return to the international scene at last year's disastrous World Cup in South Africa, and while the 33-year-old insists his criticism is not aimed at Capello he maintains having a foreign coach is "embarrassing".[LNB]He told talkSPORT: "The next manager of England should be English.[LNB]"I've got nothing against Capello, I went to the World Cup and got to know him, but that's not what international football is.[LNB]"It's like saying if our keeper's not good enough, we'll go and get (Gianluigi) Buffon from Italy.[LNB]"It's a form of cheating in international football and it's a bit embarrassing.[LNB]"It's different for developing countries in Africa and elsewhere, who are trying to build the game up but, for England, such a big football nation, I don't think we should have a foreign manager.[LNB]"Just because it didn't work out with Steve McClaren, it didn't mean we had to go for a foreign manager.[LNB]"We should have gone for the next best Englishman."[LNB]The 33-year-old also believes the lack of opportunities English managers get at top Premier League clubs is a contributory factor.[LNB]He added: "If every club had an English manager, someone would have to win the league! Someone would have to win the FA Cup! And then they'd accumulate these trophies.[LNB]"Capello had an aura and presence that maybe McClaren didn't have.[LNB]"And it was the same with the likes of Benitez and Houllier at Liverpool, and Mourinho at Chelsea.[LNB]"With their CVs, they've all got something about them and have won big trophies. So does that mean English managers need to go abroad?"
