Wenger at the perfect point for England job – Glenn

Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn believes Arsene Wenger has the “perfect” credentials to become England manager.

The governing body is looking for a new boss to step in for the disgraced Sam Allardyce, who was removed from his position on Tuesday after being embroiled in controvery surrounding third-party ownership of players.

Gareth Southgate has taken over on an interim basis but the FA are seeking a long-term candidate for the dugout.

However, Wenger adopted a different stance on the issue of nationality despite earlier appearing open to considering an offer.

Allardyce, meanwhile, now faces the prospect of a suspension from the game for breaching FA regulations, Glenn continued.
