Former England striker Wayne Rooney expressed his desire to see Josep Guardiola take the helm of the national team. He believes that England should prioritize hiring the best coaches, and Guardiola would be an outstanding choice, as reported by Goal.
I'd like Pep to be honest. I think England have to strive for the best managers and Pep would be great; the way he gets his teams playing. But I think Lee Carsley deserves his opportunity. I played with Lee at Everton, we were both younger and he is a very good person and coach.
