<p><br /> Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has admitted he would jump at the chance of managing England should Fabio Capello leave the post following the Three Lions' World Cup debacle.<br /> </p><p><br /> An awful campaign in South Africa came to an end on Sunday with a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Germany, a result which has placed huge pressure on Capello to resign.<br /> </p><p><br /> Should the Italian quit - or be sacked by the Football Association - Redknapp would be a contender to replace him and the 63-year-old would relish the opportunity to lead his country.<br /> </p><p><br /> He said: "I'm English, who wouldn't want to manage England?<br /> </p><p><br /> "There's not an Englishman - whether it's me, Roy Hodgson or Sam Allardyce - who would turn the job down because it's our country and we want to manage our country.<br /> </p><p><br /> "No-one is ever going to turn that job down."<br /> </p><p><br /> Following the appointments of Capello, and Swede Sven-Goran Eriksson before him, Redknapp feels it is time to appoint an Englishman.<br /> </p><p><br /> "Could you imagine an Englishman managing the Italian national team? It doesn't happen.<br /> </p><p><br /> "The Germans are the same, they have a German manager. We've ended up with two foreign managers.<br /> </p><p><br /> "This guy [Capello] has a fantastic record at club level. But look, we've had a go with it now. When he finally moves on, in four years or whatever, surely there has to be a young guy or somebody in this country, surely we have to find a manager from England, an English manager."<br /> </p>
