FA to announce McClaren

4 mei 2006, 10:37

The Football Association will announce Steve McClaren as the next England manager this afternoon. The FA's board will meet at their headquarters in London at 10.30 ahead of an announcement to confirm the successor to Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Middlesbrough manager McClaren will be recommended to the board by the selection panel the BBC revealed today. Bolton boss Sam Allardyce was also in the running for the job, but said after the 1-1 draw yesterday who he though would succeed Eriksson: "Steve McClaren. I have had nothing but you get the sense and the feeling. The media. The media have been going that way day-by-day and in the end you think that that is going to be the case."

Sven-Goran Eriksson said on McClaren: "It isn't official yet but I'd expect that will probably be the selection on Thursday. He's extremely good. As a coach, perfect every time."

"Every time we are together, after dinner, all the coaches sit and discuss football for one or two hours - what we are going to do tomorrow, the next squad or the next team. Everyone has their opinion. Because when I took this job I said I didn't want to have people around me who just say 'yes'. I want people to have opinions... and he's clever."
