Top English boss not interviewed
The FA’s determination to go international was also summed up by their decision NOT to interview Newcastle boss Eddie Howe.
Alan Shearer explained: “I’m told they didn’t speak to Eddie Howe, or they didn’t sound him out at all, I’m reliably told.
“Which is a big surprise for me considering he would be the outstanding English candidate.”

Tuchel's England
Here is how the Three Lions could line-up under Thomas Tuchel.
Forgotten England stars could benefit from Tuchel appointment
WITH Thomas Tuchel in the frame to be the next England manager, a few forgotten stars might be hopeful of a return to the international set up.
The former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager usually uses a 3-4-3 formation.
That could provide an opening for Mason Mount, who's not been involved in the England set-up since the World Cup in 2022.
The now Manchester United star enjoyed his most successful spell under Tuchel while the pair were at Stamford Bridge.
Tuchel could also offer lifelines to other previously capped players such as Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Eric Dier.
RLC has excelled since his move to AC Milan and with England struggling to find a partner for Rice, he could be the surprise answer.
Meanwhile, Dier played for Tuchel at Bayern Munich as part of a back-three last season.
The defender did enough to convince the club to make his loan move permanent after he had fallen out of favour at Tottenham.
