Rio Ferdinand keen on England job
The former Manchester United star has amditted he would relish the chance to take charge of the Three Lions
Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has admitted he would relish the chance to manage the England national team.
A number of coaches have been linked with the vacant England job following Roy Hodgson's resignation, after England were embarrassingly dumped out of Euro 2016 by Iceland.
And now Ferdinand, who won 81 caps with the national team, believes he knows why the team has continued to disappoint, whilst also claiming he has what it takes to turn their fortunes around.
"When you don't know your starting XI when you get to the tournament, and you don't know your best formation, there's a problem," he said.
"When you perform in a team, individuals can only perform to their greatest ability when the platform at the bottom is set, the foundations are set... the structure, the understanding of what you want your team to do.
"When a player then is not performing too well as an individual, he can fall back on that platform of structure, the team, the unity.
"That's why I should be a manager."
The 37-year-old was then asked whether he would take the vacant England job, to which he replied: "All day."
