Howard Wilkinson has accused the Football Association of reneging on their intentions to appoint an England manager to succeed Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Luiz Felipe Scolari is set to be appointed as the next England head coach, and is discussing terms with the FA, but Wilkinson, chairman of the League Managers' Association, is unhappy with the choice. Wilkinson was technical director of the FA when Eriksson was appointed in 2000 and he insists the aim then was to groom an English successor.

He said: "At the time Sven was appointed it was very much seen as a necessity to have a foreign coach, with the intention the next appointment would be, could be and should be someone who had come through the system in this country. I am concerned about the effect appointing Scolari will have on English football at playing and coaching level. We don't have a problem with Scolari, he has good credentials and a good CV. We are not being xenophobic."
