Even though there have been foreign managers in the past for England and haven't worked out great, the main consensus is that the best choice is to go back to selecting a non-English coach. Many TV pundits and former players have agreed that the best way to go is getting someone who knows the Premier League but doesn't feel compromised by his relationship with many players who really don't deserve to play for England. That's exactly what happened to Roy Hodgson and players such as Harry Kane or Jack Wilshere for example.
The name rolling around the channels and pundits is that of Jurgen Klinsmann, but there is nothing certain just yet. The German coach is currently under contract with the United States national team, he would have to break that contract in order to reach an agreement with the English FA. There are reports that suggest he has already been talking with them. To former goalkeeper David James, selecting a foreign coach could be the key to fixing England's problems and take the best out of the players' full potential.
James told Omnisport that: "I think England needs to go for a foreign manager. When you have basically the England squad playing for foreign managers in the Premier League, then you have an English manager trying to have English ideas against these foreign ideas, you end up with what he had in 2016, 2014. I think you bring a foreign coach in who has some similarities with the style of play English players have, and then we have the players, we have under-21 players who will come in, we have a good team."
